A Guide to Cherry Blossom Viewing in and Around Tokyo, Japan

🌟 I heard on the news this morning that the cherry blossoms are in bloom. The Japanese government announces the start of the cherry blossom season based on a standard cherry blossom tree in a major shrine. They count the flowers every day, and when six blossoms have opened, it is declared the start of the season. 🌟 1,200 Somei Yoshino cherry trees in Ueno Park form a pink corridor. When the wind blows, the falling cherry blossoms are like snow, creating a Japanese movie-like atmosphere. Locals will lay picnic mats under the trees for gatherings, bringing their own light meals to join in the spring-limited romance. 🌟 There are rows of cherry blossom trees in Tayasu Chinju Inari Shrine. Walking among them, you will feel as if you are in a pink sea of flowers. As an Inari shrine, the architectural style of Tayasu Chinju Inari Shrine is unique, complementing the blooming cherry blossoms and adding a sense of tranquility and mystery. 🌟 In addition to Ueno Park and Inari Shrine, there are also many cherry blossoms in nearby Chiba. The season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom is really beautiful, as if you have fallen into a pink ocean.
