I'd be heartbroken if you missed the early cherry blossoms in Japan during March!

Reasons Why You Must See the Okamezakura|A Secret Early Spring Ritual for Tokyoites **✨ 2024 Bloom Forecast**: March 8–20 (10 days earlier than Somei Yoshino! Get a head start on cherry blossom season) **✨ Romantic History Buff**: Planted by the wife of an Edo merchant, Okame, as a prayer for her husband, this 400-year-old tree is a "Tokyo Natural Monument." **✨ Visually Stunning Highlights**: ▫️ Low-hanging branches within reach, perfect for close-up cherry blossom shots! ▫️ The night cherry blossom lights are amber (not tacky pink), giving it a luxurious feel. ▫️ The background features the bronze Kirin statue of Nihonbashi + a century-old red brick building, offering rich compositional elements! --- ### 🚶♀️ **2024 Exclusive Transportation Guide|A Shortcut 99% of Tourists Don't Know** 📍 **Precise Coordinates**: Nihonbashi 1-chome Intersection (Search "Mitsui Main Building" on Google Maps for better accuracy!) 🚌 **Budget-friendly Routes**: ▫️ Haneda Airport → Keikyu Line direct to "Mitsukoshimae Station" Exit A6 (500 yen cheaper than JR) ▫️ Narita Airport → Access Tokkyu to "Higashi-Ginza," transfer to Ginza Line (Avoid the Tokyo Station maze!) ⚠️ **Tips to Avoid Pitfalls**: ▫️ Avoid rush hour (8:30–9:30/18:00–19:00), as the crowds of office workers are comparable to Shinjuku. ▫️ "Walking on Nihonbashi Bridge" is open for a limited time on weekends, offering a bird's-eye view of cherry blossoms + traffic (Saturdays only, 10:00–16:00)
