Stunning pictures of cherry blossoms in Japan win hearts on social media

It’s the season of cherry blossoms in Japan. The annual flowering of the blossoms, which attracts tourists from all over the world has started. Japan’s Meteorological Agency announced the start of the cherry blossom season. “Today, on March 14, we hereby declare the sakura blossoming in Tokyo. We’ve seen many warm days in March, climate change may also have played a part,” the government body said in its statement about the early start of the season. The flowers typically bloom between the end of March and to the first week of April.

Cherry blossoms are termed as sakura in Japanese. The key distinction between sakura and other cherry trees is that the cherry blossom trees bloom with beautiful pink or white flowers each spring instead of producing fruits. Pictures of the mesmerising cherry blossoms have been doing the rounds of the internet.

The caption of one tweet noted, “Cherry blossom season is almost here!” It added that one of the most iconic spots to view the stunning flowers is the Kintaikyo Bridge in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The photo successfully captured the beauty of both Kintaikyo Bridge and cherry blossoms in its frame.

Stunning pink flowers can be seen blooming on the branches of a cherry blossom tree in the frame. The beautiful Kintaikyo Bridge can also be seen in the background.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the blossoms are anticipated to be in full bloom within the next week.
