Nara Park covered in cherry blossoms earlier in April
Tourist numbers around the world have dropped to an all-time low no thanks to the COVID-19 virus outbreak and it’s no different in one of the most travelled countries in the world – Japan.

However, the popular park known for its bowing deers and lush landscapes is literally covered in cherry blossoms earlier in April, undisturbed too since there aren’t many tourists there these days.
A photography studio’s Twitter account @KikiPhotoWorks captured this dreamy video while visiting the park last month.

Nara’s sakura season expected to make landfall in March according to forecasts but it is likely a little late this year.
Even the deers there are covered in Sakura petals.
It’s also a good time for wedding photography.
