The announcement was made five days earlier than last year.

Agency employees confirmed at around 2 p.m. on Sunday that more than 80% of the flowers had bloomed on a Someiyoshino cherry tree at Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda Ward.

Ueno Park in the city was crowded on the day with crowds of cherry blossom viewers.
