Japanese people loves cherry-blossom viewing which is called "OHANAMI."
We bring some lunch boxes and drinks, and have a party under the blooming trees.

Now it is February, so it is a little early for OHANAMI.
However, you can already enjoy seeing blooming trees in Tokyo.
The Japanese plum trees are blooming now.

Some parks around Tokyo are holding "the Plum Flowers Festival."
Compared to flowers of cherry-blossoms,
flowers of plums are smaller and are less in volume.
But I think they have more beautiful colors, brilliant pink and deep reddish pink.
When you see blooming plum flowers, you will admire the view of them.

I am planning to visit UMEMATSURI, and to enjoy the Japanese beauty.
I really hope it will be fine weather this weekend!
