At the end of March, the cherry blossoms bloom across Japan, marking the start of hanami season. Hanami, which literally translates to “flower viewing,” is a beloved tradition in Japan where people gather with friends and family to enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms.
During hanami season, many parks and gardens across Japan are filled with people having picnics, drinking sake, and admiring the beautiful pink and white cherry blossoms. The tradition dates back over a thousand years to the Heian period when aristocrats would gather to compose poetry under the cherry blossoms.
One of the most popular spots for hanami in Japan is the Philosopher’s Path in Kyoto. This tranquil walkway along a canal is lined with hundreds of cherry trees and is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
In Tokyo, Ueno Park is a popular spot for hanami, with over a thousand cherry trees that light up at night with paper lanterns. Shinjuku Gyoen is another popular spot in Tokyo, with a mix of early and late blooming cherry trees that ensure cherry blossoms throughout the season.
Hanami is a time for celebration and reflection, a chance to appreciate the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms and the arrival of spring. So if you find yourself in Japan during hanami season, be sure to grab a picnic blanket, some sake, and enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms with friends and family. It truly is a magical time in Japan.
