What can I say, we do our best to get the information out as soon as we get it. I would like to think that we have the best systems in place to get the first notifications. Then it's just a matter of getting them to the fans

I unlocked this badge now.
This badge specific to Tokyo, Japan metro area, not Sakura.
"Sakura" means just "cherry blossoms" in Japanese, it's the symbol of Japan.
Sakura isn't city name, so I think it's better to change the location and the venue list as "Tokyo".

No wonder why www.travelmath.com doesn't recognize Sakura City when I want to know the flight time from South Lake Tahoe, CA. Btw it took me 7 hours from my last c/i for Heavenly 2012 badge to unlock Sakura badge at Tokyo...:)

@dokiok Just am FYI Sakura is a city in Japan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura,_Chiba

@SyarifSArman Travelmath.com recognizes Sakura, Japan: http://www.travelmath.com/flying-time/from/South+Lake+Tahoe,+CA/to/Sakura,+Japan

Yape, my mistake, I typed in Sakura City not Sakura, thanks...:)

@Dan
Yes, there is a city of Sakura, in Chiba, small city.
It's only same pronunciation and different meaning.
The badge says "I♥TOKYO", it's the badge for City of Tokyo, not Sakura city.
Also all venues are in Tokyo.

Got it with 3 c/i, I think past c/is count..tks

4sqjunkie

@ekky I agree that past c/i count. I think some of the stadiums in the list can be used to get the Triple Play badge

mofaizmz

Pete_Nice

That fourth venue is closed and no longer viable.
