When to watch

Kami-Senbon, Mount Yoshino is one of the most strongly seasonal cameras on this site. Yoshino's cherries open in waves from Shimo-Senbon upward, and Kami-Senbon is usually at its best from early to mid-April. Those two weeks alone justify the camera.

After the blossom comes new green, and in autumn the colour; the whole hillside changes, so it repays opening once a season.
