We all know that sakura season is the best time to
enjoy Japan. Despite it'll be way more crowded than usual, you can actually get
the best of sakura in Japan, do these things for more memorable, fun and also
great photo album to keep for your future memories!
Piknik, makan
minum dan bercanda, menikmati waktu saat suhu menghangat dan indahnya warna
sakura memenuhi taman-taman yang ada di Jepang. Sakura season is surely best to
spend in the park, complete your experience by doing what Japanese do, hanami!
For more about hanami in Japan, also what to prepare,

Tips: Cari taman-taman yang tidak begitu populer untuk turis, taman-taman ini
jauh lebih sepi dengan banyak ruang untuk kita menikmati taman. I suggest Kyu
Shiba Rikyu Garden yang berada persis di sebelah Hamammatsucho Station di Tokyo
RENT A KIMONO!
Strolling the
roads and gardens filled with sakura view is even better when you do it in a
traditional way, wearing colorful kimono! Cherish the spring color is a fun
way! Selain menyenangkan, hangat (yes, bahkan di awal spring yang masih cukup
dingin, kimono sangat menjaga suhu tubuh), you'll get many smiles from people
around, we got so many compliments from old ladies in Tokyo, probably because
there isn't so many people wearing kimono in Tokyo these days :)
Where to rent: Birei Tokyo
Price: 3000 yen/ 2 hours or 5000 yen for a whole day (return at 4 PM)
FIND A SAKURA-SEASON-SPECIAL DELICACY
Setiap musim
sakura, berbagai brand selalu mengeluarkan produk-produk edisi sakura, termasuk
cemilan seperti cokelat, kue-kue, hingga minuman yang khusus dijual hanya di
musim sakura seperti sakura Mcfizz yang sangat menarik ini, don't forget to snap also :)
STROLL AND BIKE
Bersepeda di
musim sakura benar-benar pengalaman menyenangkan. Bayangkan menyusuri jalanan
yang dipenuhi warna pink di kanan dan kiri, pemandangan yang tentunya sangat
menenangkan, everything is beautiful
during sakura season and biking around is surely extra fun!
STOP AND SNAP
Kalau foto saat
musim sakura biasanya kita akan mencari taman, shrine dan temple yang
dikelilingi pohon sakura, namun saat inilah kita dapat berhenti dan menikmati
atmosfir di mana saja! We stop at this
baseball court that turned so beautiful during sakura season!
There are so many other things to do during sakura
season, but most importantly: just enjoy, don't rush things and tried to get
too many places. See, breathe, enjoy and make the most experience from each
place you visited.
