Early Sakura 2007 in Ueno

Posted on 11. Mar, 2007 @ 8:37 am by in Tokyo Views: 221

During the Tokyo run we ended up stopping by Ueno Park. Nice place!

Surprisingly there were already a few Sakura trees in bloom.

Officially, they’re expected to bloom around the week of the 19th I believe…

There are pictures taken by a much better photographer, and by a much better camera available here on my friends blog who came with us on the tour. Generally his blog has some amazing pictures of Japan, I would recommend taking a look through the entire site!

    Ooooh!

    I love Ueno :) My husband and I stayed there for several days as part of our honeymoon in 2003. We were too early for cherry blossoms, unfortunately. They look beautiful!

    I have seen cherry blossoms here in the States of course, but both times I went to Japan I managed to go out of season. Next time, though…next time! *shakes tiny fist*

    I like your pics. Great pics on your friend’s site too! I need to learn to read Japanese…

    Nice Sakura pics.
    The thing I hate about Hanami is all the drunk people who gather under the trees.
