Kandagawa and Inokashira Koen Ohanami

I can't tell you how much I love bike riding along Kandawaga, especially when the Sakura are in full bloom. Today's ride to Inokashira Koen was breathtaking.

Cruising along with this view for about an hours ride was such a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The Sakura were in full bloom today so finding space to place your leisure sheets can be a little tricky.

Ohanami bento from Shimanekoken. So so delicious.

I love seeing other peoples picnics...what food they bring...how they set up camp. These guys above even packed a sort of drum kit!

  7. Hi Hello Sandwhich!

    You are an amazing blogger! I was last in Tokyo back in October to see my grandparents who live there and I have to say Japan is really amazing! Oh and before I forget, would it be okay if I purchase your Tokyo guide through cash? It's for a friend of mine.

  11. The blossom trees are beautiful. We have had scenes of white here too, but in our case it's snow!
    I love the Japanese tradition of picnicing under the trees, it must be lovely looking up at clouds of blossom. Thank you for sharing ths year's (though I can't believe it's been a year since you last wrote about them! Where does the time go?). x
