I always be
a fan of the Japan culture, and I’ve always wanted to visit this country and
see its wonderful landscapes. In Japan are many festivities and tradition that
are related with the seasons of the year and the religion.
Personally
the tradition that i like to see the most is the sakura blooming. The cherry
blossom is considerate a symbol of Japan and the blooming of this flower
represents the end of the winter and the renaissance of the spring. This
tradition has the name of hanami, and consists to go with you family or friends
to see this exotic flower and have a good time. I think that is a very
beautiful tradition and offers a beautiful view.
If you want to visit Japan in the sakura blooming season you have to considerate that is a very famous tradition and many tourist travel to Japan to see the hanami. You have to be informed about the dates in which this happens and in which places it occurs. Many cities in japan have the sakura blooming season, they have beautiful parks where you can see this flower, Tokyo have the Ueno park and the Shinjuku gyoen (this two are the most popular) and others cities like Osaka have the Osaka castle. The cherry blossoms start to open firts in the southern area of the country around March 29th, and in the last time this flower blooming in the northern area around may 2th. In the park you can have a picnic with traditional Japanese snack and have a good time with your family or friends. If you do not want to spend a lot of money you should go to cities not so big, because in the big towns (especially in Tokyo) the price of lodging is triggered at this time.

Hi Daniela, wooow! it sounds very amazing the sakura blooming season!, it's too beautiful to see the cherry blossom when mostly the other flowers don't grow up yet and as it's a tradition, as you said (Hanami), it would be better and more special to see it!
