Beautiful cherry blossoms!
Hanami party under the cherry blossoms.
"Hanami (cherry blossom viewing)" in Japan often involves a picnic party to enjoy cherry blossoms as well as food and drinks. People have a Hanami party with friends, family or colleagues under the cherry tree and have fun. It seems the dazzling cherry blossoms in full bloom make many people get higher than usual. But there are manners and a certain way to have a Hanami party. And a good preparation may help you to enjoy the party even more. Why not enjoy spring in the Japanese way.
