Spring Is Finally Here

Seems like after a long delay, spring is finally here.

March had been riddled with strange weather patterns this year, starting with warm temperatures at the start of the month, and then suddenly having steep temperature drops starting from mid-March.

The bizarre weather pattern has caused the famed sakura trees to bloom very late this year, with Tokyo announcing the official start of blooming only just a few days ago.

As the temperature stabilizes and the flowers start going into their full blooms within the next few days, without a doubt it will be a spectacular sight to see.

While I have no exact authority to say this, I would just like to put this out here - please be nice and considerate when enjoying the view, and as much as you want to get a picture perfect shot, please do not pull the branches or flowers, or worse shake the tree just for your 5 seconds of fame.

I have had seen enough bad behavior regarding people trying to get their perfect shot through means of trespassing private areas or doing inconsiderate things like climbing trees or what not, so I really do hope that such behavior can be eradicated so that everyone can enjoy the views and be respectful of nature itself.

So yup, be considerate, be mindful of others, respect privacy and rules, and go ahead and enjoy the splendid views of Japan’s beautiful spring scenery!
