Ohanami season in Japan

March 23rd, 2009

Now it is the most beautiful Ohanami season in JAPAN. “Ohanami” means cherry blossom viewing. SAKURA(桜) means cherry blossom in Japan.

Many Japanese go to parks, gardens, or mountain settings to get a good view of cherry blossoms. And they enjoy getting together with their co-workers, family members, and good friends. They eat and drink under the branches with cherry blossoms in bloom.
