Cherry Blossom Viewing in Japan – What to Wear, When to Go, What to Bring to Hanami

Shinjuku Parks

In Japan, spring is a very meaningful season. It marks the end of the year for both schools and companies, it is the time of “new encounters and new beginnings,” as the Japanese like to say. With the quickly rising temperatures, both old and young, locals and tourists, flock to see one of spring’s most marvelous miracles: the evanescent cherry blossom, or sakura in Japanese. The act of viewing and appreciating the tiny pink petals is called hanami, literally meaning flower viewing. Between March and May, Tokyo’s hanami parties can be seen taking place pretty much everywhere where cherry trees can be found – but how to actually do a proper hanami? From the weather and what clothes to wear to what to bring to the event, let’s take a look at everything you need to know to make your Tokyo cherry blossom experience an unforgettable one!

A beautiful melting of music, art, and movement, Stringraphy is an original concept that while born in Japan, has already made waves across the globe in its 25 years of existence. During the workshop, I had the chance to meet the members of the world-renowned Stringraphy Ensemble, enjoy a performance, and even try my hand at making my own string music.
