The Best Season to Visit Japan - Celebrating Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)

I can say spring is the beat season to visit Japan. Why? Because the weather is so nice. Not too cold, not too hot and usually sunny.  It just makes people feel happy. 

In addition to the mild weather, there is another factor that makes the country so adorable.  It's the beauty of Sakura ( = cherry blossoms).  They first become in full bloom in the southern part of Japan in early March and the sakura front gradually comes up to the north. In the Tokyo area, it usually reaches between in late March and early April. 

But just looking at the trees and flowers might be boring. I know some don't care about them. When it comes to tulips, for example, I don't care.  What the cherry blossom season makes special in this country is Hanami (= literally flower viewing) .  A popular ( probably the most common and enjoyable) hanami style is to hold a picnic party under Sakura flowers.  In other words, it's time to eat and drink by leveraging the beauty of sakura and good weather !  

Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to throw a hanami party this time in Tokyo. But walking down the streets under the pink decorated sky was still quite fun.
