cherry blossoms around Tokyo

Then look outward

YOYOGI Park between harajuku and shibuya

is one of the most popular destinations for HANAMI for Tokyo residents under 40

It’s lively all year round

But during [Tree]SAKURA season it takes on a different feel

blue sheets and hanami go is our everywhere

The atmosphere is like a big party

I chatted with the group a plan on me goers and ask them simply

Why are you here

Nat faraway Shibuya

is HACHIKO crossed

The busiest intersection in the world

has its own cherry blossoms

This is a popular meeting spot

But for old 10 days a year it's just like this

Lovable dog HACHIKO has a staff

This cool dog has one up best use in town

King Shibuya

Someone give that dog a bone

Just on the other side Shibuya station is SHIBUYAHIKARIE

yeah he cud Ian a new building with loads of great shops and cafes

HARBS has one of my favorite cakes the mill a crepes

Six layers of fruits and cream

Its awesome

But on this day I had a craving for something seasonal

like this

The SAKURA cake

It has real SAKURA blossoms on top

and just screams springtime

Cherry blossoms

see them smell them and now eat them

At a couple HARBS original must got jasmine tea

It's a fantasticdue up

Sweet azuki beans and below in a delicious sakura cherry blossom labored moose

But how does it taste

Oh it's good

That's very good

The essence of springtime in Japan wrapped up in a delicious cake

INIKASHIRA park is one of the most popular destinations in Tokyo for HANAMI

In fact it's one of the most popular in all of Japan

Besides the many sakura trees INOKASHIRA park as a tranquil lake burrowing

in paddling

It's usually a peaceful place but in Tokyo during the sakura season

Becomes more of a parking lot for boats

You can be relaxing

From the lake you get a new perspective on the trees

and the park

It's easy to make friends with local people during the [Tree]SAKURA season

They offered food,drinks

and some fantastic insight on Japan's history with the cherry blossoms

notes there are a lot of nostalgic songs that remind people love moments in the

past

and reliving also [Tree]SAKURA memories can be a lot of fun

It's easy to get caught up in the moment and simply enjoying the togetherness

That comes with being a nommy goer

is a major part of [Tree]SAKURA season in japan

This history goes all the way back to the time of the SAMURAI
