From mountain hikes to beach lounging, there is

no shortage of ways to appreciate nature. In
Japan, one outdoor activity has a word dedicated
to it: “hanami,” which translates literally to “flower
viewing.” Hanami is something of a national
pastime. Each spring, the nation gathers to
celebrate the arrival of the year’s cherry
blossoms. In parks throughout the country,
families, friends, and couples spend the day
enjoying food, company, and, of course, the
blossoms themselves. The flowers’ appearance
generally coincides with the end of the fiscal and
school year, and those breaks create the perfect
opportunity for celebration and relaxation.
Hanami is not exclusive to Japan. Other regions
of the world with concentrated cherry tree
populations partake in annual celebrations as far
away as Brooklyn, NY, and Washington, DC, in the
United States.
