Perhaps because of the warm winter in 2024, cherry blossoms bloomed a little later than usual.
Instead, has it already bloomed? It was great because I was able to take my time to observe the blooming process.
I have summarized everything from the beginning of blooming to full bloom!
This is the cherry blossom festival held at Tokiwa 2-chome on March 31st.
At this time, the cherry blossoms have not yet bloomed, and the buds are just popping up.
In late March, there were large temperature differences, with some days having a temperature difference of more than 10 degrees over the course of a week.
At this time too,
- The maximum temperature on March 28th was 14.6 degrees
- The maximum temperature on March 29th was 22.2 degrees
- The maximum temperature on March 31st was 24.6 degrees
There was a 10 degree difference in temperature over the three days.
I guess I haven’t caught up with changing clothes yet.
It was a street where some people were wearing jackets and others were wearing short sleeves.
The cherry blossoms may not have caught up with the sudden temperature change yet.
Cherry blossoms were starting to bloom at Kiyosumi Park on April 1st.
Some cherry blossoms are still in bud, while others are in full bloom.
Perhaps because the temperature has suddenly risen over the past few days, there seem to be differences in the condition of the cherry blossoms.
This is the cherry blossoms on the same night.
I wonder if the flowers have opened a little more than when I saw them during the day? That’s what I felt.
It is very beautiful when illuminated by night lights.

The temperature dropped again on this day, reaching a high of 16.6 degrees.
When I looked at it from a distance, it looked like it was in full bloom, but when I looked closer, it looked like it was only about 6 minutes in bloom.
This is what Kiyosumi Park looked like on April 4th.
There are a lot of flowers that are open, and it may be about 7 or 8 minutes in bloom.
The maximum temperature was 19.9 degrees Celsius, and there were many people enjoying cherry blossom viewing.
Many rivers flow through Koto Ward, and there are also many bridges.
Cherry blossom trees are planted along the Sendai Hori River near Kiyosumi Shirakawa.
When you cross the bridge, there are many places where you can see that you are surrounded by cherry blossoms no matter whether you look to the right or to the left.
The statue of Basho Matsuo next to the seaside bridge also looks like he is enjoying the blooming cherry blossoms.

I’m looking forward to seeing the beautiful cherry blossoms again next year!
