#cherryblossom25 From Hiroshima, Miyajima, Narita, Tokyo, I able to witnessed such beautiful cherry blossom this year in 2025. As winter melts away and spring gently whispers its return, Japan once again adorns itself with the delicate beauty of sakura—cherry blossoms that symbolize not just the change of seasons, but the essence of life itself. In 2025, the annual bloom of sakura feels more than just a natural event; it is a reminder of renewal, hope, and the quiet strength found in fleeting moments. I felt blessed able to witnessed such beautiful cherry blossom. In Ueno park, many peoples gathered together to witness the beauty of cherry blossom. In these moments, nature brings people together, inviting them to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the present.
