sakurazaka

Tuesday, I went to check out one of the spots for blossoms, Sakurazaka (literally cherry blossom hill)

Apparently this particular area was the model for Masaharu Fukuyama's song "Sakurazaka".

On this particular day, the blossoms weren't quite ready and at the time I was putting this post together, Tokyo was still waiting for the weather people, to see 5 flowers on the specific tree (there were only 4 flowers) to announce the start of the cherry blossom season.

It is the Vernal Equinox (First day of Spring & a holiday) today, hopefully the weather dudes will be able to see one more flower bloom so that this cherry blossom season can get started.
