This is a beautiful time of year in Japan with the cherry trees in full bloom. Hanami (flower viewing) is a popular event in April. I went to Okazaki park with some meetup friends for hanami on Sunday. It was a beautiful sunny day with a bright blue sky. We sat beside the water and had a picnic under the sakura. Then we went to see the samurai parade. At the end of the parade, we walked to Okazaki castle where we strolled through the grounds people watching and sakura viewing.
Gorgeous photos! Lovely that spring has sprung!
I love your blog and beautiful pictures. It was fun at ohanami. Please post those pictures at meetup site!!
Heya, it’s soo surprising to know that u visited Okazaki on the same day I participated Ieyasu Parade… U got me in one of your pic (the 9th pic from the top), what a coincidence !!! Hahaha
