Hello Millennials! 🌸
Spring is just around the corner. Do you know that Japan is well-known for its sakura cherry blossoms? According to this year's forecast, sakura in Tokyo is estimated to start going into bloom in mid-March. Since the Heian era (around 750CE), hanami or cherry blossom viewing has been a beautiful Japanese tradition during the spring season. Locals spend hanami enjoying drinks and food with families, friends, and co-workers while sitting under the pink petals of the Sakura trees.
Today, we will be listing out 10 great Sakura places you can easily get to from The Millennials Shibuya in about 30minutes or less! 🕝
