Welcome
【Cherry blossoms】Miura Kaigan sakura Festival 2019 in the rain #4K #三浦海岸 #京急
Colorful blooms, new leaves, spring rain, and the return of birdsong are beloved signs that the cold of winter has at long last come to an end.

At JITTI USA, we are particularly fond of the cherry blossoms, which have shared significance in Japan and in Washington, DC. Whether you are on a train to Miura City in Kanagawa to enjoy the cherry blossoms (video above), or seeing the emergence of flowers from your own windows, we hope you have an enjoyable spring.
