The entire group moved to Shinjuku Gyoen Nationwide Park (Reference hyperlink), the rain fell constantly however couldn’t cease the novice photographers from searching flowers :D.

Maybe in misfortune there’s luck, for the primary time in my life, snow has come like this.

Nonetheless, the highway to Mount Fuji was blocked as a result of snow and rain, so the entire group regretfully needed to see Mount Fuji by way of images.
