Hanami (Which -by the way- it means Flower Viewing) is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers *----*! "flower" in this case almost always meaning Cherry Blossoms. They're also called Sakure trees :3!
From the end of March to early May, sakura bloom all over Japan. The blossom forecast is announced each year by the weather department, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two. In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night ^^!
Thousands of people fill the parks to hold feasts under the flowering trees! and sometimes these parties go on until late at night... Hanami at night is called Yozakura (literally means night sakura *-*).
By the way! In many places such as Ueno Park temporary paper lanterns are hung for the purpose of Yozakura *-*.
And this is how it looks at night :3!
By the way! This is Ueno Park:
Has you can see, It can be Reeeally crowded o.o.....I'd looove to go there some day *---*!!
Usually, people go to the parks to keep the best places to celebrate Hanami with friends, family or coworkers Many hours or even DAYS before o.o....
The first cherry blossoms happen in the subtropical southern islands of Okinawa, while on the northern island of Hokkaido, they bloom much later. In most large cities like Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, the cherry blossom season normally takes place around the end of March and the beginning of April. The television and newspapers closely follow this "cherry blossom front", as it slowly moves from South to North!
But now it's getting bored right? Well, this is what Hanami is all about :3!
For me, It's about Spending a nice time with the people you love under Pink trees<3!
