Ueno Park–yumyumcherry blossoms
They say timing is everything, and in our case, this Japan trip proved the case. Warmer than anticipated, the Japanese forecast for the Sakura (J-speak) was due mid-April, but we were treated to a truly beautiful natural (and NATIONAL) spectacle on March 26.
Ueno Park, a bit down on its luck in recent years–so the Natives disclose–was the site of a wonderful celebration of the blossoms….cotton candy (pinku-of course) and all.
