Cherry Blossoms Come into Full Bloom in Tokyo
Tokyo, March 30 (Jiji Press)--The sample cherry tree monitored in Tokyo by the Japan Meteorological Agency came into full bloom Sunday, the agency said.
The full bloom of the Somei-Yoshino tree at Yasukuni Shrine in the Japanese capital's Chiyoda Ward came five days earlier than last year and one day earlier than usual years.
The agency judges that a monitored cherry tree has reached full bloom when about 80 pct or more of its buds are open.
On Sunday, a monitored sample cherry tree reached full bloom also in the city of Wakayama, western Japan.
