Sakura Report 2015 - Selection of Best Sakura Blossoms in the First Half of Sakura Season (13 Photos)

"First half of Sakura season"

When you read this phrase, what do you imagine?

Perhaps many of you might think that the Sakura season is just one period, which cannot be divided. This is mainly because Sakura is only available from the end of March to the very beginning of April in Tokyo. How can a short period of one week or so be divided into two parts with special meanings?

But there is one precondition behind such an idea. We are all talk about the Sakura in our own towns. Tokyo residents imagine Sakura in Tokyo. There are few people saying that we can enjoy Sakura in the south during the midst of February and in the north during the midst of May. However, there is a certain number of people saying so. To my surprise, it amounts to three months.

I'm not yet such a radical person enjoying Sakura for the whole three months. But I would like to say that we can enjoy Sakura at least until the end of April only by going to Okutama region.

My message is that we can move from the center of Tokyo and enjoy Sakura in the second half of Sakura season, again. We can enjoy Sakura in the center of Tokyo in the first half, and out of the center of Tokyo in the second half.

So, what is this post?

This post is a selection of my best Sakura blossoms in the first half of Sakura season in 2015. I would like to reflect on the first half to improve my photography skill, and of course, I would also like to share the world of Sakura blossoms of Japan to you.

Please enjoy!
