Sakura

#traveldiaries There is no other place on Earth that celebrates cherry blossoms quite like Japan. Not only do the tiny pink flowers possess beauty, but cherry blossoms are also a crucial component in Japanese culture. A wide variety of cherry tree species numbering in the hundreds are found throughout all of Japan. In fact, the cherry blossom is so popular it is considered Japan’s unofficial national flower. And their arrival is widely celebrated throughout the country during the spring season with food, song, dance, and camaraderie. These tiny flowers have been celebrated for centuries. And today, travelers come from around the world to see them each spring. Japan’s iconic cherry blossoms even have their very own forecast, which allows savvy travelers to plan their trips during peak viewing times.

Missing the Sakura trees

#traveldiaries The sakura of Japan are well known around the world for their radiant, delicate and transient beauty, but they are more than simply beautiful cherry blossom trees. Sakura are tied to Japan’s history, culture and identity. Originally used to divine the year’s harvest, sakura came to embody wabi-sabi philosophy and shinto ideals of impermanence, hope and renewal. Each year, people in Japan gather together to watch the sakura bloom from March through May and observe how at the peak of their beauty, the blossoms start to fall; providing a stark reminder that although life is beautiful, it is also ephemeral and short. Learn more about the sakura of Japan below and find out how you can begin a journey to see them in person.

park has many shady areas, and quite breezy

#japantrip #travellerswonderland #travel #couplestrip Lovely park even on a lightly raining spring day. On one side is a beautiful garden with lots of flowers. Though there were also different kinds of roses, I honestly didn’t realise that there were so many different kinds. It was heartwarming to see her having such a blast, and it made our visit to Yamashita Park truly memorable. Overall, if you're in Yokohama and looking for a peaceful escape by the sea, Yamashita Park is the place to be

Fall in love with Yokohama.

Yokohama, an unforgettable journey: 1. Yokohama Chinatown: As one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan, this is a great place to experience authentic Chinese food and culture. Stroll along the quaint streets, with a variety of Chinese restaurants, shops and temples on both sides, as if you were in a Chinatown in a foreign country. As a Chinese, I feel the strength of my motherland and its international influence👍 2. Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse: This historic building complex has witnessed the prosperity and development of Yokohama. Today, the Red Brick Warehouse has been transformed into a fashionable landmark integrating shopping, dining and culture. Here, you can enjoy the old architectural style while enjoying the convenience and fun of modern cities. 3. Yokohama Port Future 21 District: As a representative block of Yokohama's modernization, it integrates office, business and entertainment. Take a Ferris wheel to overlook the beautiful scenery of Yokohama Port and feel the prosperity and vitality of the city. At night, the brilliant lights make it picturesque. 4. Yamashita Park: Adjacent to Yokohama Port, it is a super large park where you can see the sea. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful sea view and enjoy leisure time. There are also various sculptures and monuments in the park, adding a cultural heritage to your trip. 5. Yokohama Ramen Museum: For ramen lovers, this is a place not to be missed. The museum brings together old ramen shops from all over Japan, allowing you to taste various flavors of ramen at one time. The inspiration for Japanese ramen comes from the Chinese chicken noodle soup of Chinese Ming Dynasty travelers, which was later improved and gradually formed its own style. Come to Yokohama, if you have plenty of time, you can go to the surrounding Kamakura and Yokosuka to see, each with its own scenery. 🎉🦶
