NISHIYAMA RYOKAN

I went to the Japanese Mint in Osaka few days ago. There are various kinds of flowering cherry trees within the premises of Japanese Mint. And every year during cherry blossom season, they are opened to the public for cherry blossom viewing. It is called ''Sakura-no-toorinuke''. It has enjoyed popularity as one of Osaka's best-loved spring tradition. We Japanese really love to view them. You can check more information about this event through the website of Japanese Mint. http://www.mint.go.jp/eng/index.html

It's gradually getting warmer. Spring is the time for new beginnings. The cherry blossoms in Kyoto are really beautiful now. This weekend will be the best time to view them. It allows visitors to enjoy feeling of Japanese spring. I'd be a shame to miss Kyoto in the spring. We 'd like to come!!
