Rome deserves to be called "Caput mundi" = the capital of the world, and fragments of various countries can be found. There are obelisks in Egypt, London-style neighborhoods, etc ... and even Japanese cherry blossom trees.
Why are there Japanese cherry blossoms in Italy, where there is no custom of cherry blossom viewing?
Its roots date back to 1959.
That year, Italy was developing a district called EUR on the outskirts of Rome for the Rome Olympics ahead of the following year. It was a district developed by Mussolini for the Rome Expo, which was supposed to be held in 1942 (EUR stands for Rome Expo), but it was not realized in World War II and the defeat and was left unattended. Was there.
The facilities have been refurbished and reworked to create a venue suitable for attracting athletes and spectators from around the world.
Through this Olympics, it was very important to show a new Italy that survived the tragedy of fascism and war.
Against this background, many high-ranking officials from overseas visited Rome during this period.
The then Prime Minister, Nobusuke Kishi, was one of them.
Four years after Rome, Japan, ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, has the same desire as Italy, which was an ally during the war, to "make the Olympics a success and appeal to the world how it has recovered from the defeat." is.
Prime Minister Kishi presented 2,500 cherry tree saplings to commemorate his visit, and these were planted around a pond in the EUR district, which is the venue for the Olympic Games.
Every year when the cherry blossom season comes, many Romans, style lovers, oriental culture lovers, and of course Japanese also come here to take a walk along the cherry blossom trees named "Japanese Promenade" and have a picnic. I spend a relaxing time relaxing.
Due to the corona wreck, we couldn't see the cherry blossoms in EUR last year and this year.
However, vaccination is gradually progressing, and nuvola (a cloud-inspired convention center by architect Fuksas) in this EUR is the largest vaccination site in Rome.
Hope you can resume cherry blossom viewing in EUR next year!

We would like to inform you about the status of the new coronavirus in Vietnam as of April 16, 2021.
As of April 16, 2021, a total of 2,758 people have been tested positive for the new coronavirus in Vietnam. The death toll has not increased since September 7, and is still 35. The number of people who have recovered is 2,445.
▶ Vaccine passport system completed
At a meeting of the National Guidance Committee for the Prevention of Coronavirus Infectious Diseases held on April 9, it was announced that a telecommunications company involved in the vaccine passport (new coronavirus vaccination certificate) business had built a technical system. Did.
According to the committee, the vaccination passport can be divided into the following three categories.
(1) Vietnamese who have already been vaccinated and are stuck abroad due to travel ban.
② Foreigners for business travel.
③ Tourists from abroad.
It seems that they will resume acceptance from countries that have been vaccinated and have acquired herd immunity (a condition in which the infection itself is difficult to spread because many people have immunity).
Vietnam is efficiently controlled by the government's swift response, and although interest in vaccination is very high, the Ministry of Health needs a vaccination passport against the background of large-scale vaccination not yet taking place. It seems that it was decided that there was.

After enjoying a one-night camp at Zion on April 13, we hiked to OBSERVATION POINT.
OBSERVATION POINT is a scenic point about 600 meters up a 6.5km one-way trail to the WEEPING ROCK stop, which is usually a shuttle bus that runs inside the Zion Valley.
If you stand in this place even once, you will definitely be fascinated by Zion!
As I wrote in the article before, in Corona Sorrow, the shuttle bus in Zion National Park is restricted, so you can not get on unless you make a reservation in advance.
Moreover, because the purpose of many tourists visiting Zion is hiking, most cars once parked do not move all day long, and most of the limited parking lots disappear early in the morning.
Like the Grand Canyon and other national parks around, Zion National Park is visited by a large number of people every day, and the entrance to the park is congested with long lines of cars every day.
That's because many tourists think that Zion can only enter from the entrance of the park and see from inside the valley.
However, in fact, you can drive to the top of the mountain of Zion and hike the trails from both the east and west sides of the canyon to reach the scenic points and the interior of the canyon.
This time we camp at the east exit of Zion National Park, drive off-road to the east side of Zion to EAST MESA TRAILHEAD, then hike to OBSERVATION POINT.
It takes about 20 minutes by car from the east exit of Zion National Park to TRAIL HEAD.
It took about an hour and a half to walk slowly from the parking lot to the OBSERVATION POINT. The distance is about 5.5 kilometers one way with almost no height difference.
You don't need to book a shuttle bus, avoid traffic jams at the park entrance, and get to this spectacular view without hiking on steep climbs.
Also, there is no entrance fee to the national park!
Please come and see this magnificent view.
I will post a photo from OBSERVATION POINT.
