Cherry Blossom; March 26-31, 2022

 

Tokyo had the cherry blossom season this week.

The flowers were open in the parks, along the streets, and in the temples and shrines.

The full bloom continued about a week and I enjoyed walking many times.

 

This is the third cherry blossom season under the COVID-19 pandemic.

The restrictions of behavior are weaker this year than ones in the previous two years. Still, people are asked to refrain from having fusses.

I did not find any drinking parties of big groups under the cherry trees.

Most people were walking along the cherry trees and taking photos. Some were with their dogs.

Some were with their baby carriages.

Kids were playing in the park.

This photo is taken at Gotokuji Temple in Setagaya City, western Tokyo.

I also found a beautiful cherry at Rokusho Shrine in Setagaya City.
