I debated about whether to check out the Royal Palace's sakura or go to Yokohama.
I decided to check out Yokohama, because I had seen something online about 800 trees along the Oooka River
The bummer thing about IG these days is that they got rid of the "recent" feature on reels, so you can't tell what is actually current
Unfortunately not many trees were in bloom at the park, so I walked along the river
Luckily there were many early blooming sakura trees
I also stumbled upon some street art
This area was also part of their red light district so parts were a bit sketchy...
This year everyone’s cherry blossoms started early so the weather dude said by April it should be hot & humid (oh joy! not!)
With global warming all the “good” seasons (Spring & Autumn) seem to be getting shorter and shorter
The next couple of days are forecast for rain, so it was nice to be able to see some cherry blossoms

My sister will be in Japan shortly. Hope she gets to see lots of sakura!!
Even though I prefer ume flowers to sakura, it sure is pretty, especially since they are planted everywhere along streets, canals, parks.
I know what you mean about IG, like the flooding we had. I guess it's great if it drums up donations and volunteers to clean but misleading to see as if it is currently happening.
