Cherry blossom is three weeks of it. Flip through the other forty-nine — and watch what's in bloom move up and down the country.

About 500 cherry trees, mostly somei-yoshino, including the sample tree the Japan Meteorological Agency watches to declare Tokyo's cherry season open. In season the shrine holds Noh and other performances and stays open late for evening visits.
