It’s this time of the year where Japan gets all excited (and crazy) about the cherry blossom! It’s my second time seeing cherry blossom in Japan and I have to say I am still quite amazed at how beautiful everything gets… I am definitely becoming more Japanese (also for the fact that I took about a hundred photos of the same flowers)! What stroke me is the anticipation of the event and how people get organised to see the finest cherry blossom! There is even a Cherry Blossom Forecast on TV and on the internet. This year’s forecast was:
The Cherry Blossom Festival in Nakameguro was quite impressive: on both sides of the Meguro river are cherry trees and during the festival they are lit up at night and lanterns are put up between the trees; food and drink stalls are also set up along the river; people just stroll on the quays with friends, family or colleagues, while watching the lit up cherry trees. The atmosphere is quite unique…
