Hanami@peak in Setagaya: April 3, 2010

I am sure that millions of people in Tokyo are enjoying Hanami in this weekend (April 3-4).

I walked several places in Setagaya Ward, West Tokyo.

Kitazawagawa Ryokudo (walk way) has beautiful creek. The combination of pink cherry and green grass and blue water (of the creek) was so beautiful.

There were groups of local communities, companies and stuidents. Foreigners were also enjoying the "picnic".

The area is known as one of the high-grade residential places in Tokyo.

Ume blossom season has already finished at Hanegi Park in Umegaoka (See Umegaoka: Feb 21, 2010). However, they have another attractions. The cherry blossom at the park is also wonderful.

I saw tousands of people gathering. Some were playing the musical instruments.

Baji-Koen Park or the Equestrian Park has various cherry trees. Some are pink, others are white, and some trees have hangover branches.

I saw many families enjoy picnic.

News programs of TV stations reported Hanami in the top news today. It well reflects Japanese cluture.
