DO THESE THINGS DURING SAKURA SEASON

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!

HANAMI

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, check out my previous post here

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.
