TOKYO — Tokyo was wrapped in spring warmth on Tuesday, when visitors to one of the city’s famous cherry blossom viewing spots, Chidorigafuchi, in Chiyoda Ward, enjoyed a beautiful blizzard of falling petals.

An 18-year-old female university student from Saitama City, who was on her way to her school’s entrance ceremony with her parents, smiled and said, “It’s very moving to me, because my mother says that the cherry blossoms were also in bloom at the time of her university entrance ceremony.”
