Cherry Blossom Viewing, known as Hanami in Japan, is a traditional practice of enjoying the beauty of blooming cherry trees. This event typically occurs in spring when the cherry blossoms, or sakura, reach full bloom. People gather in parks and gardens to appreciate the delicate pink and white flowers, often having picnics under the trees. During Hanami, families and friends come together to celebrate the fleeting beauty of the blossoms. The event symbolizes the arrival of spring and the transient nature of life. Many cities in Japan, such as Tokyo and Kyoto, host festivals and events to mark this seasonal highlight.
