I grown up in the Philippines that I never experienced to see the beautiful cherry blossoms. I often just saw it in the books or in the television but not in person because cherry blossoms are not exist in the Philippines. But I was so lucky to be invited to visited Japan during their Spring season where the Cherry blossoms appeared.
When I first saw the Flower I was amazed. The flowers show their innocent look and Purity that could touch the hearts.
In Japan cherry's are called SAKURA
When we went to a temple where the biggest Buddha in Japan found, I was attract by the beauty of Pink cherry outside the temple .
During night time they have lights on the cherry trees that gives more color.
Some of my photos
Their are places for cherry blossoms for the Tourist that full of Cherry blossoms and as what I've heard they have also festival. And the cherry blossoms are good for 2 weeks only.
