People visit parks and picnic to enjoy the flowers of cherry blossoms in spring in Japan. The cherry blossom, known as "sakura" in Japanese, holds deep cultural significance in Japan. The blooming of cherry blossoms is a highly anticipated event, and it marks the beginning of spring. Many parks and areas across Japan, such as Ueno Park in Tokyo and Maruyama Park in Kyoto, become popular spots for "hanami" (cherry blossom viewing) parties and gatherings.
During the cherry blossom season, people often spread out picnic blankets, enjoy food and drinks, and celebrate the beauty of the blossoms. This tradition has been practiced for centuries and is a time of appreciation for the transient and ephemeral nature of life, as cherry blossoms only bloom for a short period before falling to the ground.
