Sakura Matsuri - 上野公園 Ueno Kōen


Ueno Park was BUSY BUSY last Saturday for the beginning of the Sakura Matsuri (Sakura Flower Festival) in the Tokyo area. Beth and I got there early (around 11'ish) and it was packed with people walking around and lounging on their blue tarps under the trees! Literally it was shoulder to shoulder walking around, but it all added to the crazy experience of it all and I loved it! The flowers were in full bloom, the sun was warm and bright, and the people already walking around with beers and chu-hi - NICE!!!
