Chinese Herald News (Written by Chen Yue) Spring in Tokyo is warm and cold, and several days of rain and rain make the cherry blossoms, which should have bloomed in late March, bloom until early April.

There are about 1,000 cherry blossom trees planted in the garden, and there is also a Somei Yoshino "Reagan Sakura" presented by former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Every year during the cherry blossom season, you can walk through it as if you are in a sea of pale pink cherry blossoms.
