Spring · Cherry blossom season
Japan
We didn’t plan to stop at Maruyama Park. It was Aki who spotted the lanterns strung between the trees and said, ‘five more minutes.’ We stayed for two hours, watching petals land in our hair.
🌸 Did you know? Japan tracks cherry blossom season with an official ‘sakura forecast’ (sakura zensen), a tradition dating back to the 1950s.
