Local Japanese News In English
Cherry blossoms in central Tokyo have been in full bloom four days earlier than usual and a day earlier than last year, the Japan Meteorological Agency said Thursday.
The agency said its officials confirmed the 'someiyoshino" cherry tree at Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, designated as the agency's 'sample tree," has bloomed by around 90 percent, fulfilling the 80 percent requirement the agency sets to declare it in full bloom. (Kyodo)
