Cherry blossom viewing

hanamiIn Japan, cherry trees bloom all at once in spring. However, in West Japan, East Japan, and North Japan, there is some gap at the time to bloom. Moreover, that time may shift for a while also by year. In an ordinary year, from the end of March to the beginning of April, it is the best time to see in Tokyo. Every Japanese people love cherry blossom viewing. They expect cherry trees begin to bloom every year after cold winter. Cherry trees begin to bloom and fall only about two weeks later. Japanese people enjoy its transition. Under cherry trees in full bloom, Japanese people enjoy parties called “Hanami” with family, friends or colleagues. There are many spots for cherry blossom viewing in Tokyo such as Ueno Park (photo), Sumida park (near Tokyo Sky Tree), Asukayama Park, and Chidorigahuchi (a moat of Edo castle, near from the Imperial Palace).
