Cherry Blossom Season

Japanese feel "spring has come" when we hear the first announce of cherry blossom blooming. It will bloom in less than a month in Tokyo, around in the end of March.

Edo-Castle gate and cherry blossoms


It is like we are surrounded by cherry blossoms when they are in full bloom.

Cherry blossoms in full bloom at Kitanomaru-park.


Many people enjoy walking under the ceiling of sakura, a cherry blossom.

Beside the Chidorigafuchi-moat


Japanese enjoy hanami, a cherry blossom viewing party. It is a good opportunity to celebrate the change of season and to strengthen friendship between people.
