The sakura season lasts for about 10 days in Tokyo (from when the flowers really start to boom until they start snowing down from the trees). This means that when the flowers are in season, everyone gets together outside for ohanami as often as possible. During the season in Tokyo, we enjoyed as much of them as we could.

We spent an afternoon with our friends Harry and Naoko Schlemmer and many of Harry's friends from when he first came to Japan as part of the German student exchange program. I think every German speaking person in Tokyo was there with us.

It was windy and sandy at our picnick location, but we managed to smile for a picture anyway!


Pictures of some of the trees at Shinjuku Goen, where we met some of Derek's friends from work.
