Gorgeous SAKURA in NYC

Spring has arrived finally! With pollen allergy.

You may know, the typical symbol of Japan is SAKURA, cherry blossom.

Yes, I don’t know any Japanese people who don’t like SAKURA.

Even in New York, I can’t help looking for sakura trees.

Let me introduce some nice places for sakura in new york.

Central park

The area around the gate at east 90^th street is filled with great Sakura trees.

Most of them are old trees, thus the view was dynamic.

Trinity church

Although there are not so many trees in the church, the view of trees surrounded by buildings is unique.

A private place

So astonishing great tree in a private place.

This tree was a kind of SHIDARE SAKURA.

It is different from typical sakura tree in the shape of its branch.

The branch is drooping. (“SHIDARE” in Japanese means drooping.)

The drooping branch with gorgeous flowers bending in the wind is so graceful.

That’s why I like this kind of Sakura the most.
