Japanese people like to start their year with cherry blossoms so the school starts in April.
Some companies start their business year in April.
The thing comes with cherry blossoms is Ohanami.
Literally means looking at flowers
It is basically a picnic in a park.
It is often said that the most junior employees, most likely new grads, have to go to the park really early morning to get a place for Ohanami.
I was often asked 'Did you do ohanami this year?' last couples of weeks but for me, honestly, this hanami thing does not make sense.
People say it is good to drink and have party while looking at cherry blossoms but what they actually do is only drinking.
Cherry blossom is just an excuse for them to have party and drink crazily.
Anyways cherry blossom is beautiful and I recommend to visit Japan during this period if possible.
