Day of Hanami - Flower Vieweing

Tokyo -Yasukuni Shrine -靖国神社 -> Ueno Park 上野公园 -> Times Square Building, Shinjuku - > Shibuya
Day 2

Tokyo is a happening place, this time we going to explore some newest sightseeing places, shopping mall wit combination of the traditional travel spot. However, Tokyo is the most populous prefecture & one of the largest cities in the world with a total population of over 8 million people.

Yasukuni Shrine -靖国神社 Yasukunijinja is a shrine established for commemorate and to show appreciation and respect to those who dedicated their precious lives.

After Yasukuni Shrine, it's time for us to proceed with Hanami~ Hanami literally means "flower viewing", however, commonly refers only to cherry blossom viewing.

Ueno Park is a large public park just next to Ueno Station. It was opened to the public in 1873, and offers its visitors a large variety of attractions. One of the must-see area in Tokyo, Japan.
The Japanese celebrate this time of the year with hanami parties under the blooming trees. Therefore, it is a common practice to reserve a picnic spot long before the party is held. The typical praxis is to spread one's picnic sheet early in the morning and either mark it with the group's name and party's starting time or to have somebody positioned there during the day until the rest of the group arrives after work.
You will never forget the beauty of any single blossoms spot~

The trees appear as beautiful clouds, while the beauty of single blossoms can be enjoyed from a close distance.
