During hanami, people gather with friends, family and colleagues in parks, gardens, and other outdoor spaces to enjoy picnics and admire the beautiful cherry blossoms.
The weather during cherry blossom season is usually mild and pleasant, with plenty of sunshine and blue skies. However, it can also be unpredictable, with occasional rain and strong winds that can cause the cherry blossoms to fall early.
