It looks like Nishinomiya City’s original cherry blossom, “Imazu Benikanzakura（いまずべにかんざくら）,” has started blooming at Daito Park.

Here it is↓
Quite a lot of blossoms have opened already〜.
Even though it’s really cold today〜. That’s Imazu Benikanzakura for you.
Here’s the map↓
The address is 6-7 Imazu Daitocho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Come to think of it, the cherry blossoms from Daito Park have even been made into sake.
And if you thought this was early, quite a few early-blooming cherry blossoms are starting to flower around Nishinomiya.
This is Kannoji Temple on February 14↓

I wonder what variety the cherry blossoms at Kannoji Temple are. If you know, please tell us〜.
Final Thoughts
Apparently, the Imazu Benikanzakura bloomed on March 7 last year and March 11 the year before〜. You might think this is about the usual timing, but in a typical year they apparently bloom around the end of February〜.
