Cherry Blossom Around the World

Anne Christine Persson, Thursday 7 April 2016

The cherry blossom season is upon us and you can from the end of March until the end of April find this exquisite tree in bloom for just a brief, but magical period of time at different destinations around the world.

 

Tokyo
One of the best places to experience the cherry blossom or sakura as it is called in Japanese is in Tokyo. The juxtaposition between the ultra-modern and sleek metropolis and the overwhelming amount of pink cherry trees is truly magical.

The cherry trees around the Jerfferson Memorial in Washington D.C. were a gift from the major of Tokyo in 1912 and has ever since been dressing the US capital in pink flowers.
