070326_Sakura Hunting @Koganei Park, Tokyo


Although Japanese weather forecast authorities predicted an early coming of sakura (cherry blossom) season in Tokyo - the 18th March, the tiny fragile flowers are still rare to be found in town...


First Spot in 2007 - Koganei Park:

This park is considered one of the best spots around Tokyo area for the appreciation of pretty cherry blossoms since Edo period. It's a huge park with various theme areas, eg. baseball field, kid's corner, bicycle laps and floral ground etc. It boasts of an area of 77 hectre with around 52 different kinds and more than 1,800 different cherry trees, incl. wild cherry, Yoshino cherry, and Korean Hill cherry etc.

As the changeable global climate keep playing us around since last year, the expected-to-blossom cherry in Koganei keep most of their buds still closed and make cherry hunters run around to look for their trace...


A surprise found in this park were the big white evergreen magnolias. Not only are their beautiful white flowers shinning gorgeously in the sun, but also is their parfume floating in the air so as to charm everybody into their realm...
