When in full bloom, the endless rows of pink form a spectacular floral corridor. 3. Aged Trees in Full Splendor: Many of the cherry trees here are over 80 years old, with expansive canopies and incredibly dense blossoms. When they bloom, the flowers cluster like clouds, creating a dreamy sea of pink. 4.
