Cherry Blossoms: 桜 (Sakura)

Many of Japanese feel the advent of Spring by the Cherry Blossoms.

Since last weekend, Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo have been in bloom.

Sakura, Cherry Blossoms takes hold in our life in Japan.

It is a national Flower.

When you have a chance to see 100yen coin, there is a Cherry Blossom.

Lots of people go to see its bloom and enjoy wonderful moment under the tree.

That is called "Hanami", means Picnic under the cherry blossoms.

You can Hanami with your family with Bonto Box,

4. Park near you

This is it! This is my favorite!

You can find many Cherry Blossom trees in the park near you.

If you did, just bring Bento Box with favorite beverage.

No need to take train, no need to take subway,

not crowded...

Lots of Hanami spots have festivals during the Bloom.
