Spring
in
Japan
is
associated
with
cherry
blossoms.
Since
olden
times,
cherry
blossoms
have
captivated
the
hearts
of
the
Japanese
people.
The
traditional
custom
of
hanami
is
to
visit
mountains
and
parks
with
cherry
blossoms
and
hold
sake-drinking
parties
beneath
the
cherry
trees
in
full
blossom.
Tokyo's
Ueno
Park
and
Mt.
Yoshino
in
Nara
are
famous
spots
for
viewing
cherry
blossoms.
And
autumn
in
Japan
evokes
the
beautifully
colored
leaves.
In
this
season,
the
mountains
are
ablaze
in
deep
crimson.
In
Kyoto,
there
are
many
temples
with
gardens
where
you
can
enjoy
the
beautiful
autumnal
foliage.
The
greatest
charm
of
sightseeing
in
Japan
is
surely
the
seasonal
change,
such
as
the
cherry
blossoms
of
spring
and
the
crimson
and
golden
leaves
of
autumn. |
