Sakura at Heiwa Park

Hanami at Heiwa Koen - Sakuras at Heiwa Park

April 5 - 2009

Sakura fever has come!! This is the time that everyone enjoy the beauty of sakura. Sakura only blooms once a year and total blooming period is about 2 weeks. The most beautiful moment is when it's on full bloom and during the time that the petals start to fall.
Sakura tree can easily found here in Japan, even at the road side. Most of the public parks also got sakuras. For a start we went to a park nearby our apartment. The park is call Heiwa Koen ( Peaceful Park ), as the name itself there is a large area of Japanese cemetary beside the park. We picked this park because it's near & the parking is free. Who doesn't like free things right?
When we arrived, the park was already crowded with peoples. Most of them picnic under the sakura tree and enjoy the food and beer. Well, Japanese people seem can't live without beer. The best part here is the walkway under the sakura tree. Eirfan, Yuri & Eiqmal enjoyed running around.

It's hard & tiring to chase them running here and there.

Due to Eirfan & Yuri keep on running, Eiqmal got most of the shots.
