Hanami (or "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, specifically sakura (or "cherry blossoms"). On Easter Sunday we traveled to Ueno Park in Tokyo to take part in Hanami with a few people from our host nation...
It's a fairly popular tradition.

On Saturday we enjoyed Hanami at a local park with a group from work...that managed to pick a park that overlooked work, errr (the shipyard is in the background).
If you would like to visit us during Hanami in the next couple years, the best bet is the last week of March and the first week of April.

I thought this was an interesting sign in the sakura park at the top of a hill. There is lots of Kangi on the sign but the message seems clear enough, if you are driving in a slot canyon, which, is no where near here, watch out for kids.
