Haven't updated in a couple of months, so I'm going to go back to the first week of April, when the Sakura bloomed! This year the cherry blossom's came in the last week of March through the second week of April. It is customary during Sakura Matsuri to have a Hinami, which is when you go on a picnic to view the cherry blossoms. I love that the Japanese basically have a word and a holiday that is just for getting outside and smelling the flowers, literally! How cool is that? So on a Thursday A and I decided to get lunch and head to the Kintai Bridge for Hinami.
It was pretty crowded considering it was the middle of the week!

We really had a good time, there is nothing like sitting next to a picturesque river under beautiful flowers and enjoying the sunshine and friends.
