still too early I think... only 5 clusters on a tree in Nagoya?

the weather is going for a chill into the middle of the week. it will warm up by the end of next week. maybe it is better then!

開花日 is definitely different from a few days after
滿開日.
The 'blizzard' probably is the best .

ya………….the blooms peak around 7 days after the initial blooms and then DIE down very quickly…

in Tokyo, the first blooms were spotted on around 19th, and so the PEAK will be this weekend…….just nice as I am flying off tomorrow night to Tokyo…

it was finally announced at 11 this morning that the somei yoshino sakura has bloomed... no need to panic though, they consider that as long as 5 clusters of the flowers have blossomed on a tree, it is counted... as you can see in the video, the trees are still mostly bare... i say give another week...

So it will be colder this weekend? Only planning to bring my trench coat but gonna pack winter scarf and gloves just in case. Last Apr when there was the freak Winter in April weather I wanted to buy warmer clothes but everywhere selling spring stuff already.

Flying tomorrow. Oh boy. It's not going to snowing pink when I'm there. Sian.

Flying on thursday morning but reaching at night, hope my friend and I can catch it at full bloom. When I planned this trip, I totally forgot about the Cherry Blossoms. I guess it's a blessing in disguise that I chose the right time. Must buy Toto/4D!

Staying at Ueno APA hotel with window overlooking the lake. Can see a few pink trees but mostly bare now. The street infront of the temple is lined up with stalls and the nearby shops are selling hanami sets/bento.

Day time is tolerable but night time is quite chilling. Turn colder today. I have 3 layers, outer leather jacket, sweater and t-shirt underneath. Bought the sweater from Decathlon at $11, plan to jettison when heading back if out of luggage space.

I went through the entrance near Amekiyo and saw more blooms, about 20%, compare to the lake which is pretty bare.
