Japan is very famous of this beautiful gift of nature. Of all the flowers known, sakura is very rare as this can only be seen once a year. The season usually last for 2-weeks time, thus, Japanese always treat this special.
The Japs (and also foreigners here) enjoy to have picnic while doing "hanami" during this time. "HANA" means flower, and "MI" means to watch or see. Even lots of goers bring Karaoke with them and sing until late. Sakura Parks turned like cities when night comes as Sakura Trees are glittering with lights.
Watching sakura is a very nice experience, especially with your family and friends. Yes, being alone to go "hanami" is ain't easy. But Japs are too kind to take your picture when requested. Of course you need to have guts, otherwise no glory and picture. |
