1. I am not looking forward to this year’s hanami season. There are way too many tourists as it is and we all know there are going to be tons more descending upon us to see this.

2. It’ll probably bloom mid march given how warm it’s been this year. Last year I think the bloom was second week of march and it was cooler than this year.

   It’s funny how so many tourists came in April to see sakura but missed everything. Sad

3. That will be updated a few times before actually cherry blossom season.

4. Lucky me… i leave tokyo on the 21st 😞

5. TOTALLY can’t wait for all the new tourists this is going to bring in! It’s not like we’re already in the middle of an overtourism crisis or anything!

6. Hopefully it won’t rain a lot like last year. The beautiful blossom in my area got literally washed away when it was just peaking. That’s nature but what a waste!

7. Last year they started blooming the first week of March in my area. Wonder if it will be the same againnbecause of the GREAT El Niño!

8. Summer begins the day after.

9. Looking forward to the spectacle of nature’s transient beauty.

10. 😍
    Question ? I retire in 3yrs I want to live in Japan (single)🙏 any hacks or loopholes I should know about ?
    I read I could get a one year to three year entrepreneurial Visa anything else I should be aware of other than marrying a national 😅
    If this is the wrong feed to ask maybe you could point me in the right direction kudasai🙏

11. Noooo I’m going to be that tourist in April 😱😱
    I get there at the start of April I’m so sadddddd. Sigh. Maybe I’ll catch the lasts bits of it if no rain comes to take it all out 😂

12. So, how many days do we have after the bloom?

13. I’ll be there the first week of March! Where would be the best place I can catch some early cherry blossoms or late plum blossoms? i’m so looking forward to it !!
