The high temperatures of the past few days have caused the white plum blossoms to bloom all at once. Many areas seem to be in full bloom of the pink Hollywood flowers, which are used to pollinate the plums. The cherry blossoms in the foreground of Myoryo-ji Temple have begun to bloom! Overall, they are only about 10 % in bloom. With the sweaty weather again today, news of the flowers will come in droves.
