Just submitting for the sake of submitting. This is known as shidare sakura in Japanese.
Ashio, being an old copper mining town in the mountains, has a spring that's a bit later than Utsunomiya. I have to go there two or three times a month for the next year... a 70-minutes drive in fine weather, but will be longer when it starts to snow again.
