Spring snow begins to melt, cherry blossoms begin to bloom: Sendai's elegant flower tour 🌸💕

#SendaiSakura #Sakura #Sendai Compared to the bustling cherry blossom viewing spots in Honshu, Sendai's spring has a quieter feel and a sense of lingering snow. Every year from early to mid-April, cherry blossoms slowly bloom in this northeastern city, covering the newly awakened earth with a layer of soft pink veil. One of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots is Nishi Park. The cherry blossom forest and the nearby Hirose River complement each other, making it feel like walking into a northeastern painting. If you are lucky, you can see the distant mountain scenery covered with residual snow and the cherry blossoms in full bloom, which is a very healing scene. The ruins of Sendai Castle (Aoba Castle) are also a popular spot. Standing at a high point, you can overlook the entire city and the spring scenery intertwined with the cherry blossom forest. The crowds here are not as crowded as in Tokyo, so you can walk around more freely and feel the gentleness of the cherry blossoms in the chilly spring. Visiting Sendai to enjoy the flowers is not just about taking beautiful photos, but also a spiritual journey of slow pace and deep breathing.
