We were expecting it to be early this year, but actually - very early. Checking with the internet, this is the earliest for the cherry blossom since the turn of the century - tied with the year 2002.
Today, cherry blossom was fantastic. Spring Equinox day, so it is a holiday here in Japan.
Weather was mild and nice, so it was great to be outside (although terrible pollen in the air).
Different kinds of cherry blossoms were pretty in Nishi-En (West Garden) of Inokashira Park.
I would say the amount of the blossom is still about 50%. The peak should be over the weekend. It will be wonderful.

Below two photos are of Inokashira Park just 3 days ago - almost no sign of blossom
The white flowers in the back are Kobushi Magnolia, not cherry.
Yesterday, when I jogged, it was happening a bit - as shown below.
And today - just like magic!
