Japan has announced the official start of Tokyo's cherry blossom season, 10 days earlier than usual and tied with a record early start seen only twice before.

In previous years the country's meteorologists have linked the increasingly early blooms to climate change, and temperatures in Tokyo have been unseasonably mild in recent days.
