LATE SPRING @SHINJUKU GYOEN NATIONAL GARDEN

#asiatrip It was unplanned trip during my visit to Tokyo that time. Even i knew it was very low chances for me to see sakura flowers in Tokyo, alas i decided to proceed this trip without putting so much thinking into it. Shinjuku gyoen national garden was my first place for this sakura hunting. The moment i stepped into the entrance, all of the trees in that area already with leaves. But as this national garden is really huge, then i kept walking with the hope of finding sakura blooming at least in one out of thousands sakura trees in that garden. ( cross finger ). I still remember how i felt when i managed to see the glimpse of white and pink flowers at one section of the garden. I could not described how excited am i at that moment. And yes!!! it was never too late for me to experience the beautiful sakura in Tokyo. For those who are planning to do Hanami in Tokyo, the guidelines given on the web normally just for guidance. At the end, nature is still nature, we can not predict precisely. Dont ever lose hope, try to visit as many gardens as you can because there is always a possibilities some trees still in peak blooming period. Happy Sakura hunting guys!! #awesomepic #spring #sakura
