Cherry Blossom Madness!

Yes, I've succumbed to it. The festival has just started and the blossoms are 80% out. Unfortunately, the forecast for the whole weekend (and Japan is annoyingly accurate with its weather forecast) is rain, rain, rain. So I took the opportunity yesterday to get in some photos around the Imperial Palace and Yasakuni Shrine in Central Tokyo before the drizzle and crowds soaked my enthusiasm.

Some days I feel rather Japanese...
