What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

    I like Tenki.jp as well, and it's also good for autumn leaf projections later in the year as they cover both red and yellow leaf timeframes!

    I check https://www.jwa.or.jp/news/ which has updated four times already this season.

    I always use https://hanami.walkerplus.com/ (there is also same version for koyo). Always shows nice places to enjoy cherry blossoms in the whole country.

    @BlueButterfly thank you. That one is great for general information, but unfortunately for Saitama Prefecture they don't update the information. For example, if a festival is cancelled or the date is changed they don't post that info - unfortunately I learned that the hard way!! :-(

    FWIW - I remembered what the other one I use is: Weathernews Sakura Channel!

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.
