Osaka Mint's "Cherry Blossom Walk Through" begins. Over 240,000 people are expected to visit during the period until April 11th.
Only about 30% of the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but some varieties are in bloom. The annual spring event in Osaka began over 140 years ago, and is known as a famous spot for cherry blossom.. A woman in her 50s visiting from Kyoto said, ``Some of the flowers haven't bloomed yet, but the buds are pink and beautiful, which makes me feel happy''
