Full Bloom in Tokyo
To all the lucky Fodorites who are in Japan now I am truly jealous lol. If you have ever been in Japan during full bloom cherry blossom season....it is the best time to be there :)
To those who haven't been yet....what are you waiting for? http://www.japan-guide.com/blog/saku...401_tokyo.html Aloha! |
Will they still be in bloom at the end of April?
|
A year ago today we landed in Tokyo for our first sakura visit. It was stunningly beautiful!!
|
Maybe on Hokkaido at the end of this month Bill T
Aloha! |
I haven't been to the places mentioned in the japan-guide.com report but to me they are getting close to full here in Kyoto. I went by the Hirano Shrine yesterday on the bus and the ones I saw looked quite open and much more so than when I walked through two days ago....
|
Our next Japan trip will be to see the sakura.
|
We walked along the Philosopher's Walk yesterday morning. As Mara says, it's pretty close to full bloom. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
I just updated my profile picture to display a photo from yesterday. |
We were there last year for the height of the sakura and I also experienced the magic the first time I went to Japan in the 80s. Both visits were for for work, so the blossoms were a serendipitous bonus. Now I don't want to visit at any other time.

Let us know when Kathie and maybe we can meet up with you and show you how to tame Tokyo :)
Aloha! |
They're full on in Hikone right now!

"The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life."
I am so jealous but happy for you all in Japan right now. Gambatte! Aloha! |
