The photographer, who lives in Harrogate, says she visited the country for sakura season and has spotted visual similarities in her local park.

"In recent years it has attracted lots of Japanese tourists celebrating the importance of the blossom, which is known by them as sakura."

Sakura season in Japan attracts millions of tourists a year - but a UK spa town's residents argue a 6,000-mile flight isn't required to witness spectacular blooms.

There are also the sakura pink Awayuki strawberries from Mie Prefecture, which are available for $128 per pack.

"It was so good, we had baklava!" enthused singer Huh Yun-Jin; while her bandmate Sakura tucked into a portion of fish and chips.
