Hanami in Ueno Park - 上野公園の花見



Ueno Park is another famous spot for sakura in Tokyo. And today, in fact, thanks also to the beautiful day, it was sooo crowded! A huge, insane number of people were packed in the park, with a voice in the spekers saying "please do not stop for taking picture, please move on", or something like this.


Not everybody was walking, of course. A lot of people were there to do hanami. Basically laying down on a plastic sheet, eat something, drink a lot, and have fun.


Today was probably the best day for the hanami. Thanks to the wind, in fact, the flowers started to fall, covering everyting with a thin but nice veil of petals.
