If you visit Japan during the spring season, it is always breathtaking to go view the cherry blossoms (さくら or sakura) in their full radiance. Of course, it is a great experience to go to Hanami (花見) and enjoy a scenic picnic under these pink floral beauties which only come once a year. Apart from heading to the nearest park to view these in full bloom, this season also lets you enjoy lots of sakura flavored foods, snacks and drinks, which are well-loved across the country!
