March 25th-March 29th, 2024 is Spring-SHUBUN (Spring equinox)-11th KOU “First cherry blossoms”.
The cherry blossom forecast in Nagano City has been announced. It’s April 5th..
Since February was warmer than usual, I thought that it would bloom earlier. However, March was colder than usual.
It would be better to call this period “First apricot blossoms”. We received a notice about the “Apricot Festival” from CHIKUMA City.
After apricots bloom, cherry follows.
