R0020693RSG.JPG Okamezakura of Nihonbashi Honmachi "Ajisai-dori St." is blooming.

Okamezakura is a hybrid of Mamezakura and Kanhizakura, and is a combination of pale red early blooming.

Among the cherry blossoms, the flowers are small, the tree shape is compact, and it is said to be suitable for planting small land.

I heard that it started with 26 trees at first, but now there are rows of cherry trees all the way to the border with Chiyoda-ku.

At the storefronts along the street, the seasonal colors create a taste.

Sakura seems to be especially suitable for a long-established Japanese restaurant.

In the Nihonbashi area, the annual spring event "Nihonbashi Cherry Blossom Festival" will be held again this year. (March 18-April 10)

The cherry blossom strips fluttering in the spring breeze during the day, and the "Nihonbashi Sakurabashi Sakura Bar" on Muromachi Naka-dori, where you can enjoy new installations with video and sound production at night, the "Nihonbashi Sakura Bus", "Sakura Hitokiriki", "Sakura Workshop", and "entertainment Cherry Blossom Treasure Hunting Cherry Blossoms" are also happy.

The cherry blossoms are also planned to be lit up at Mitsui Main Building, Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, Choledo Muromachi 1, Choledo Muromachi 3, YUITO, and YUITO ANNEX, and the Nihonbashi area will be dyed full of cherry blossoms during the period.
