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.
weather dudes waiting for 5 flowers...it almost sounds like the great anticipation in major sports before the main kickoff!
