Sakura time in Japan

Spring in Japan is the time when the Cherry Blossoms bloom. The lovely Cherry blossoms range in colour from white to vibrant shades of pink. The cherry blossoms in full bloom are a spectacular sight to behold. Hanami or Cherry Blossom viewing is a Japanese tradition where families and friends gather , sometime dressed in traditional Japanese Kimonos and after praying at their favourite shrines have picnics with food drink and song under the canopies of cherry blossom trees
