March 20, 2024 The Edo Fukagawa Cherry Blossom Festival has begun.

Today's weather forecast was for thunderstorms and strong winds in the afternoon, but the opening ceremony was held under clear skies.
The first boat of the day started with a prayer from all participants for safety, and the chairman's ``Ipponjime''.
After 11 o'clock, a boat with a performance of Japanese musical instruments departed.
The buds of the cherry blossoms are still small and there is no sign of them blooming yet.
However, the customers who boarded the ship enjoyed the Japanese boat ride.
In the afternoon, the clouds gradually appeared and the wind became cold, so as we were cleaning up early, it turned to rain as predicted, and today's boat operation was over.
