Ume Blossoms at Hamarikyu Garden

The white blossoms seemed to be more plentiful during my visit

Backdrops around the garden include various skyscrapers - something you find only in Tokyo!

The colors of the blossoms provide a great contrast with a deep blue sky

More white blossoms toward the back of the garden

The grove of plum blossoms seemed to be lagging behind a bit, as that area doesn't get as much direct sunlight

Some of Tokyo's buildings overlook the garden, making for a wonderfully photogenic scene

These blossoming trees can become a sea of flowers to the eyes, though they are distinct from the Cherry Blossoms which are soon to come

This plum blossom near the front of the garden receives good sunlight, and so was much fuller than others around the garden
