As the weather forecast said that it would be rainy from the afternoon, I left home very early in the morning. It was perfectly sunny. Even though it was 8 o'clock, I found many people waiting for the start of hanami drinking parties.

Sakura blossoms near Gas Bridge were actually in half bloom. Some of the trees still had their buds closed.

Flowers of Japanese wild radish were blooming together. I found some places where I saw the flowers of Japanese wild radish, Canola flowers, and Sakura buds. I hope that I can come here in a few days when the Sakura trees have their blossoms fully-bloomed.

After I went up through Tamagawa Station, I found some Sakura trees with fully-bloomed blossoms!

This is why I went down to this riverside. Many families and couples were enjoying the curtains of Sakura blossoms. One good thing about the Sakura of Tama River is that the blossoms are so close that it is quite easy to shoot macro photos. But my main purpose of today's run is not the Sakura here. I enjoyed only the volume of Sakura blossoms and left here for my true destinations.
