2012 Cherry Blossom season

According to the Japanese Weather site Weathermap, Tokyo's Cherry Blossoms are expected to begin blooming from the 29th of March.
The best viewing dates are predicted between 4th and 10th of April.
The practice of viewing the Cherry Blossoms is called Hanami and it often involves  setting up a picnic with family, friends and work colleagues surrounded by blossoms.
It is a very civilised and relaxing way to celebrate the coming of Spring.
