CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL IN JAPAN

Sakura is the Japanese word for cherry blossom. This kind of flower blossoms across Japan between March and May each year, beginning with Okinawa in the far south in February to northern Hokkaido in May. In ancient Japan, cherry blossom had great importance because it announced the rice – planting season and was used to divine the year’s harvest.

Many factors can effect when the cherry blossom comes in to bloom. A particularly cold winter can make the flowers come out late. Mild weather can allow them blossom sooner. Heavy rain can mean that the trees drop their petals much quicker than otherwise.

If you are lucky enough to visit Japan during cherry blossom season, you should go to the local parks and gardens, bring some picnic food and drinks and join the Cherry Blossom Festival (or hanami in Japanese). It is one of the traditional customs of Japan and it is very famous. During this period, the Japanese are very relaxed,, and everyone enjoys the pleasant atmosphere.
