Cherry trees in full bloom in Tokyo

A high-pressure system prevailed over the Kanto region and areas to its west on Saturday, attracting people to parks where cherry trees are in full bloom.

In Tokyo's Ueno Park, which attracts more than 1 million blossom viewers every year, 670 cherry trees of the somei-yoshino variety reached full bloom on Friday.

Many families and groups of young people strolled under the trees and took photos in sunny weather.

A man in his 70s says he is glad that the blossoms withstood strong winds and rain on Friday.

The Meteorological Agency says sunny weather will continue on Sunday, and the cherry blossoms in central Tokyo will be at their best until the middle of next week.
