The surroundings of Musashi Institute of Technology where the 53rd Spring Meeting of Japanese Society of Applied Physics took place (I attended this meeting). There was still snow in Sapporo and cherry trees started to bloom in Tokyo. In photo 3, there are bushes similar to heather (the Polish name of September „wrzesień” comes from the Polish name of the heather „wrzos” because the heather blooms in September). You can see the magnification in photo 4. In photo 5, there is the bulding where poster sessions and meals were held.
Shibuya is a crowded district which is full of young Japanese people and foreigners in the evening.
Our accomodation was traditional Japanese inn so-called ryokan. Its name is Kangetsu.
