The cherry blossoms are taking a slight pause due to a return of cold weather. In regions like Tokyo, where the bloom was earlier, the flowers have reached full bloom and this weekend looks promising for enjoying them. This year, cherry blossoms in areas from Kanto to the west have bloomed around the average time, while the bloom is expected to be earlier in northern Japan.
