The peak of cherry blossom blooming in Tokyo coincides with the established warm and sunny weather, which has contributed to the active opening of the flowers. Official confirmation of this fact was obtained based on observations of the reference cherry tree located in the Yasukuni Shinto Shrine, around 2:00 PM last Saturday.
At that time, the air temperature in the center of the capital reached 19.4 degrees Celsius.
Experts noted that this year, the cherry blossoms began blooming two days earlier compared to the previous year and three days earlier than the average long-term indicators.
At the same time, in the city of Tottori, located in the west of the country, blooming has just begun. This event was recorded one day earlier than the average dates and one day later than last year.
