NARITA, Chiba – Weeping cherry trees are in full bloom at the garden in front of Narita Airport Terminal 1, offering a delightful first glimpse of Japan’s spring to arriving travelers.

In the about 100-square-meter pond in Hasu no wafu teien garden, around 50 colorful koi swim gracefully, creating a vibrant contrast with the pale pink petals of the blossoming cherry trees. This picturesque scene offers a unique combination of nature’s beauty.

The cherry trees were planted in 2006 to commemorate the grand opening of Terminal 1. Foreign visitors were seen approaching the trees, taking photos and joyfully embracing Japan’s springtime beauty.
