🌸 Sakura season at Yasukuni Shrine was incredible 🇯🇵
What makes this place even more interesting is that the official blooming announcement for Tokyo’s cherry blossom season is based on a specific sakura tree inside Yasukuni Shrine 🌸📍
As soon as enough flowers bloom on that tree, the Japan Meteorological Agency officially declares the start of sakura season in Tokyo.
Walking through the shrine surrounded by cherry blossoms, falling petals, and crowds of people taking photos made it easy to understand why this spot is so famous 📸⛩️
🌸 靖国神社の桜は本当に素晴らしかったです🇯🇵
実は、東京の桜の開花発表は、靖国神社にある標本木を基準に行われています🌸📍
その木に一定数の花が咲くと、気象庁が東京の桜の開花を正式に発表します。
桜に囲まれた境内や、花びらが舞う景色、多くの人が写真を撮っている雰囲気はとても印象的でした📸⛩️
