Despite February being the coldest month of the year in Tokyo, the city comes to life as many festivals begin to welcome springtime. In such times, the old Japanese saying「冬来たりなば春遠からじ」comes to mind. This uplifting phrase roughly translates to “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” In fact, if you look closely at a tree that has lost all its leaves, you can already see small buds beginning to emerge. At Yushima Tenjin Shrine and Kameido Tenjin Shrine, white and pink flowers are in bloom, kicking off the early celebrations just before the arrival of spring with the Plum Festival. On Izu Oshima, an island south of Tokyo, the Camellia Festival is held as they are in full bloom. There are many places in Tokyo where you can feel the onset of spring even in the midst of winter.
