Tour of the Japanese sakura
Japanese cherry blossom is one of japan's many highlights. In spring, Japan turns completely pink, the cherry blossom is in bloom. Beautiful trees, dressed in white and pink, give busy Japan a completely different face. Enjoy a beautiful, romantic walk through The Japanese Sakura in the park Shinjuku Gyoen or along the Meguro River. Special festivals are held all over the country, called Hanami Matsuri. The Japanese take to the streets en masse and enjoy with family and friends under a pink colored blossom tree. The flowering begins around March in the south and ends in the north on Hokkaido at the end of April. But beware, it is not a constant flowering, the flowering is only short.
