At Kyoto now and there are only a few blooms.
most trees are still bare.
the weather is quite cold here so maybe that is why the flowers arent blooming yet.
Kyoto seems to be an amazing city for cherry blossoms as there seems to be plenty of cherry blossom trees located in very scenic areas.

Having been looking closely at Tokyo and Kyoto this year and seeing the weather’s influence, particularly on how a few colder days slowed progress in Kyoto, I’m raising my hopes a little for Sendai.
We’ll be there around the 14th April.
The Sendai predictions had been sliding towards earlier and earlier in the month. MrLapLap missed the past few seasons, I’m crossing my fingers for the whole family to enjoy it this time around.

Thanks for the updates everyone, and esp. the links to live cameras and for the posted photo. Will be arriving in Tokyo in a few days and looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms!

Prime viewing in Kyoto has been moved to April 4 to 12 BUT we're leaving Kyoto on April 3rd
Any recommend day-trip destination reachable from Kyoto where the blossoms will be fuller on April 2-3 ?
