Cherry blossom trees are a beautiful symbol of Japan.
Of course the tree itself is beautiful, but I feel the scenery is more beautiful when the cherry trees are in bloom.
They bloom in April in Tokyo, but they bloom in May in Hokkaido.
I think that this delay makes cherry blossoms in Hokkaido more beautiful.
The fresh green of spring, a refreshing blue sky, some deep blue sea, happy families’ voices, and a light cold wind sometimes blows.
The scent of cherry blossoms wraps up this “turn of the seasons” happiness.
