An annual cherry blossom viewing event has begun at the Japan Mint in Osaka, with elderly and disabled invitees enjoying the sight a day before the famous springtime fixture opens to the general public.
Cherry trees come into bloom in Tokyo, matching the earliest time on record since observations began in 1953, with blossoms expected across the country earlier than usual due to warmer weather, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency
