Many Japanese go see cherry blossoms in the spring. We call that Hanami. Hana means any kind of flowers, but it refer to only cherry blossoms when we say about Hanami.
We can enjoy it from the late of March through the beginning of May. In this season, weather forecast say about cherry blossom front on TV.Some people just walk around under cherry blossoms in the park or on the streets, others hold a party with friends, co-workers, or family. Currently, we enjoy not only viewing them but also eating and drinking. As for me, I went cherry blossoms viewing with my family in May. We ate fried noodles and grilled chickens, and also drink beer and sake. It seems like a picnic when we go see cherry blossoms at daytime, but it is also held at night. People enjoy it under the illuminated them.
I think blooming cherry blossoms makes Japanese realize coming spring so people go see cherry blossoms every year.

I have always wanted to go cherry blossom seeing. The pictures look very beautiful but I can imagine that it is much more beautiful in person. It must be really fun to have a picnic under them as well as to go see them at night.
