China News Service, March 21. According to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), at 14:00 local time on the 20th, the relevant personnel of the Japan Meteorological Agency went to the Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda Ward to judge whether the cherry blossoms in Tokyo are open or not. On the Yoshino cherry tree, it was confirmed that more than 5 cherry blossoms had opened, and it was announced that "the cherry blossoms in Tokyo have opened."
According to reports, the release time of Tokyo cherry blossoms this year is 4 days earlier than in previous years on average, but 6 days later than the earliest release time in 2021.
Data map: In a park in Tokyo, people cruise boats to enjoy the cherry blossoms and enjoy the spring.
Regarding the reason why this year is earlier than the average date of previous years, the relevant personnel of the Tokyo Metropolitan Meteorological Observatory believe that this is also related to the rise in temperature since March.
Kobayashi Yuro, the squad leader of the above-ground meteorological observation class at the Tokyo Metropolitan Meteorological Observatory Technical Class, said: "The cherry blossoms are about to bloom, and I hope everyone can enjoy this beautiful season while viewing the flowers."
According to reports, cherry blossoms in Kyushu, Shikoku and other places in Japan have gradually bloomed.
