Sakura

Sakura (cherry blossoms) are very unique to Japan. Most pictures that you see of Japan feature these Sakura. They come out once a year around spring time. They are very beautiful flowers that line the streets. For us they are absolutely gorgeous because we have never experienced them before, but it’s funny because it’s like the Japanese people have seen them for the first time too. There we are with our cameras out taking millions of photos of the gorgeous Sakura, but so are the Japanese people. I think it’s lovely that they get so excited about them even though they see them every year. It’s such a fantastic atmosphere, people are everywhere relaxing under the Sakura trees just taking in the beauty that surrounds them.
