If there were no beautiful cherry blossoms in the world, where could spring hearts find leisure?

🌸Every year in March and April, it is the best time to appreciate cherry blossoms in Japan. At this time, streets of all sizes in Japan are surrounded by pink. Appreciating cherry blossoms, also known as "hanami" in Japan, is like watching summer fireworks, and it is something that Japanese people must do every year. 🌸"Hanami" originated from ancient Japanese religious rituals praying for abundance. In the "Chronicles of the Land of Constantly Clear Skies", there are records of people holding singing parties on Mount Tsukuba during the spring flower season. In the early Heian period, "Hanami" became a festival for the court nobles, known as the "Banquet of Flowers", which began with a flower viewing and poetry recital held in 812 at the Shinzen Garden in Kyoto. After the Kamakura period, the custom of "Hanami" also became popular among the samurai class. Since the Edo period, "Hanami" has been popular among the common people in cities such as Edo, and many "famous places" for flower viewing have appeared. 🌸Nowadays, having a picnic under the blooming cherry blossom trees is a typical Japanese tradition during the cherry blossom season. People gather under the trees to eat, drink, play, and have fun - during the day, in addition to enjoying the flowers themselves, they drink sake, eat flower-shaped rice cakes, bento boxes, and fruit. At night, they can enjoy the night cherry blossoms, and many parks also hang paper lanterns. In most parts of Japan, the cherry blossom season is also the time for starting and graduating from school, so the theme of gatherings is often related to this. 🌸In Osaka, there are many places to enjoy cherry blossoms, and one of the most popular places for locals is Osaka Castle. Osaka Castle is known as Japan's number one castle, with over 4,000 cherry blossom trees within the castle grounds. The best spot to view cherry blossoms is the observation deck of the castle's main tower, where you can enjoy both the panoramic view of Osaka city and the beautiful cherry blossoms. 🌸And Osaka Castle Park is the dedicated venue for people to gather and appreciate cherry blossoms. On the day when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it seems that everyone in Osaka has come here. There is no empty space under each tree, and the flower clouds are floating above the heads, while the laughter and joy are heard under the trees. At this moment, people forget about work pressure, life troubles, academic stress, and daily anxiety, and turn this day into a scenery in the eyes of tourists. 🚇Transportation: Tanimachi Line of Osaka Subway, [Tanimachi 4-chome] Station.
