Cherry blossoms started in Tokyo! The 1st bloom is on 21 March. Current report indicated that some trees around Tokyo are 10 - 50% bloom. Roppongi trees just started with less than 10%. Basing on current weather forecast, best viewing period in Tokyo will be between 28 Mar to 7 Apr. Think 90% we gonna miss it as by the time we reach Tokyo, it will be 23 Apr liao. Just hope the weather can turn a little bit colder so that it will slow down the blooming.
Perhaps we can view it in Toyama/Kanazawa instead. Forecast showing best view period for Kanazawa is between 4 to 13 Apr. Hence can take the chance of trying our luck at Chubu region. Cross our fingers...
2 years ago, I had missed the blooming period during my family trip. Supposed to catch the blooming period but because of the weather that turned cold suddenly, it slowed down and therefore we missed it by one week only. Hope this time round, I will not be disappointed. Although I tell myself that this trip is not to particularly to view cherry blossom but you know lah, greedy lor. Ha ha.
Hope I have the chance to walk under the stretch of Sakura trees like in the photo.Sakura Sakura, ちょとまてください!
