I took a Hana-mi walk

hello. Last weekend I went for Hana-mi.
Hana-mi is Japanese that means Hana(flower) and mi(see). Hana-mi is Japanese traditional culture. Everyone like to go out and see sakura(cherry-blossom) like a picnic or take a walk.

Ueno park is one of the most famous place to see sakura and it is so close to my house. But Ueno Park is crowded place, because many sight-seeing people come to park, so I went to Meguro by train to see sakura(cherry blossom).
It took about 1 hour from my house to Meguro station. I took a walk along the Meguro river and enjoy hana-mi.




on the way to backing my house, I went to Sinobazu pond near the Ueno park, but it is crowded so much and it is difficult to walk smoothly...


By the way, you have finished your holiday? Japanese school also have spring holiday. In Japan April is the beginning of a school year, government and company budget.
We see cherry blossom in end of March and April, so when I see cherry blossom, I remember memory of school such as graduation and entrance ceremony.

mata-ne!!
