S/ Hidaka Mizuki, Nippon TV reporter: This area is crowded with people. Everyone is walking slowly and looking at the cherry blossoms.

This is the first Sunday since cherry blossoms reached full bloom in central Tokyo earlier in the week.

S/ Boy: More flowers have bloomed than before and it’s beautiful.

S/ His mother: I was surprised because there weren’t this many people when we came here the year before last. But it’s fun.
