Sakura-Cherry Blossoms in Japan

Nakano Tokyo Hanami
Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo
Every spring the blossoming of the cherry trees brings spring to Japan. The Japanese go crazy and bring out their families to sit under the trees and have picknick in the parks werever there are cherry trees. When I am in Tokyo in spring I like to head to Nakano just a 5 minutes ride with JR train  from Shinjuku station. Here you find not only beautiful parks in pink but the roads are also covered with sakuras. When the petals fall down its like walking in snow! The blooming is in late March and early April in Tokyo.
Do as the Japanese - Bring your camera!
