Yamazakura found when trying to reach a temple seen on a nearby hillside. It turns out the temple is ground zero for the city's largest commune, which some might call a cult. But the people are nice, offering free Nike sneakers and all the Kool-Aid you can drink...
The cherry blossoms seem to be affected by the unusually cold spring Japan has been experiencing. By affected I mean falling off, wilting and turning brown before they can flaunt.
The next week should bring about the height of Sakura-viewing parties, where you scout out prime territory in parks and drink yourself silly. It's like being a sophisticated wino, but only on the most temporary basis. Honest.
