I've heard that sakura in Tokyo are blooming two day after we left Tokyo. Eventhough it's sad but to see your pictures can help me so much. thank you.

Do you think it is too early to see full bloom? Should I be there next weekend (4/4)? Where should I visit to see cherry blossom? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Natalie <span class='jfriedl'>This weekend will be too early. The next should be much better bloom-wise, but the weather is always an unknown. The area south of the Heian Shrine will have its annual sakura lightup (as <a href='http://regex.info/blog/2008-04-06/784' rel="nofollow">seen here</a>) April 3,4, and 5. —Jeffrey</span> Dear Jeffrey,

I plan to visit Kyoto this weekend (3/27). Do you think it is too early to see full bloom? Should I be there next weekend (4/4)? Where should I visit to see cherry blossom?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Natalie

One of the places I wanted to see the most is the weeping sakura at the Heian Shrine. Does that variety bloom as early as the Somei Yoshino? Thanks! P.S.

I will be coming to Kyoto from April 6 -9 and I have a couple questions: will the Somei Yoshino trees still have any blossoms and do you have any suggestions of where I could see some of the later-blooming varieties of Sakura? I would really appreciate any ideas!! Thanks :) <span class='jfriedl'>"Blooming" is not a one-day thing... they stick around for a while, and make their own beauty as they start to fall. Some blossoms have appeared, but for the most part, it hasn't begun yet.

What a lovely time of year. You must look forward to it with eager anticipation. I moved Exif to my button bar and love getting the details on images that intrigue me. Thank you. As for negative clarity, I have Lightroom 1.4. Now I have one more reason to purchase the latest version. I have thoroughly enjoyed your cherry blossom photos. What a lovely time of year.
