Sakura Season Rules in Japan: What to Do (and What Not to Do)

This is Part 1 of two videos from the same park. In this first video the sakura are just starting to bloom, and I’m using that moment to explain the dos and don’ts of ohanami in Japan, plus the real reason these rules exist in the first place (it’s not just “being strict,” it’s about keeping the space enjoyable for everyone and protecting the trees). Part 2 is coming when the park is in full bloom. #sakura #CherryBlossoms #hanami #japan #springinjapan #SakuraSeason #cherryblossomseason #japanculture #JapanEtiquette #traveljapan #visitjapan #sendai #miyagi #tohoku #scenery
