A trip to watch cherry blossoms in Japan requires precision planning with loads of good luck. The unpredictability as to when the cherry tree will blossom in spring has made planning for the trip much more difficult, as the cherry blossom lasts for only two weeks in a year.
The other unpredictable factor is the weather. When we landed on Sunday night, it was 6؛C. It was the end of the previous week’s temperature of 6؛C to 17؛C. In the last few days, the temperature plunged to 2؛C-8؛C. My daughter told me that the temperature for the following week would be 6؛C-17؛C. Just my luck, as I did not sign up for a winter trip.
