Cherry blossom update

[AisleSeat]

Thought I'd give an update for anyone heading to Japan in the next few days.
I can confirm that cherry blossoms are still in full bloom from Osaka right down to Yamaguchi in the south. In Yamaguchi, petals have started falling, but the trees still look full.
Can't upload photos from my phone unfortunately. Do I need the app for that?

Tokyo is on its last legs especially after the rain, but Fukuoka was perfect three days ago as it started later than Tokyo this year

My friends arrived there last week - loving Japan, as I hoped.

Enjoy!
