Today I walked around the area where there’re lots of cherry blossoms(“sakura” in Japanese).
I felt refreshed and new.
Here’re some of the pics I took there.
Enjoy! 
I hoped the weather was better, it was a little crowdy today.

Your welcome 
I’m glad I shared.
There were some other ppl taking pics too…
It was beautiful really.
If I could be there and not here.
Loved the pictures. My uncle visited Japan and came back with stories about things that are superior there to the American scene.
What a time of year there! It’s famous even here.

I used to live in Japan. I was stationed at Yakota AB and lived in a suburb of Tokyo called Fussa-shi. That is where my onset happened.
Those trees are beautiful, that’s a really nice park. 
Dude I love Japan’s scenery.
Lol crowdy hah.
I wondered what they did with all the cherries those trees must be putting out so I googled it to find out that they do bare fruit only it’s too small to harvest.
Very good question - I had never thought about that.
It seems you never see Japanese people eating Cherries - so it was a contradiction I might have thought about.
Thanks for teaching me something today!
Kirei desu ne…

Yeh, you know how it is with everyone wanting to inform everyone else of the trivia that they find out about. I was afraid someone else would get it out there before me. hahaha Could just be that cherries are my favorite fruit.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
wild cherry fruits are not eaten at all in Japan (that is, they are not harvested and sold as produce), but there are still a number of traditional food creations that instead, surprizingly (sic) include the vegetable parts of the the cherry tree. Each spring the flowers are harvested, dried and pounded with rice to make cherry rice cakes or sakura mochi, ordinary mochi cake with a pleasant hint of rosey cherry blossom aroma
I believe that the particular species of cherry tree that you are referring to has been bred for its blossom not fruit so there are no cherry fruits to make desserts from. Its like the pear trees that blossom in the spring all over the northeast. Beautiful small white flowers that fall off like snow in a breeze, but no pear fruit.

I have wild peach trees along the road that do same, create beautiful blossoms but either no fruit or tiny 1 inch fruits that are hard as a rock and not edible. This is from 2011…It’s going to be another 2 - 3 weeks before we get flowers like Japan has now, so I am still waiting for this show…
Actually I just went out and checked the trees, maybe more like a week before we get blossoms…they are budded this morning!
These are the same trees from the first pic i posted…
