As of Monday, March 20th Happy Spring! Get ready it’s almost Cherry Blossoms time. Every year I celebrate this special time of year on my annual “Cherry Blossom Photo Tour Japan.” It's a 12-day epic journey, from Tokyo through the interior to the sea of Japan and back to the Pacific Ocean side Tokyo. Our route takes us to world-renowned Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Matsumoto Castle, snow monkeys without the heavy snow, Shinto-Buddhist Shrines, Zen Gardens, valleys of cherry blossom trees in bloom. We are also able to view the fast moving Japanese white-eye bird/mejiro enjoying the nourishing nectar of the Cherry Blossom.
