Hanami is a big event and unique for being systematic and organized in this country. Japanese simply love cherry blossoms. Usually, people go to hanami in groups. Families, neighbors, friends, and co-workers get together and go out to one of the hanami spots, sit under cherry trees, and enjoy the flowers in full bloom while drinking and eating. Cherry blossoms are something indispensable in spring.
This spot is selected as one of the 100 best cherry blossom spots in Japan. Lit up Cherry blossoms at night are also a good artistic view. A stage will set up, and other events will be held as well.
