　Angyo cherry blossoms seem to be in full bloom soon at Mitsuzoin Temple, Kawaguchi city, Saitama prefecture.

【 Bon appétit ! 】
Close to Tokyo there is a beautiful temple famous for its early blooming, pink, “angyo” cherry blossoms. They are called Angyo after the name of the area these Saitama born cherry blossoms were cultivated. Although close to Tokyo as the crow flies, they are a little tricky to get to. But anyone who has ever made the journey, says its worth it! Unlike the main variety of Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, which are actually white, the angyo sakura are pink. Furthermore, they bloom before the main variety, usually around early to mid March with full bloom often around the spring equinox.
