A fun picnic with friends beneath the cherry blossoms, completely with food and drinks and games...in a cemetery??? It would be unheard of in my home country, but that's exactly what makes traveling abroad so interesting. A short walk from Tsudayama Station (Nambu Line), Midorigaoka Reien is an enormous cemetery in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa, and is lined with hundreds of cherry trees that bloom into wonderful white clouds. There's a lively atmosphere here. People are everywhere, picnicking in the grassy areas around the graves. It was a beautiful spring day, so why not? When in Rome...

A bit of an odd scene, if you ask me

A true sign of spring

Magnificent trees

Bustling with visitors seeing the incredible view

Located in Kawasaki, Kanagawa

It almost looks like a dream

Enjoying a beautiful weekend

Festive atmosphere in an unusual place

A beautiful, lonely road

Should be a painting

Hanami at the cemetery? Creepy!! Actually, I'm planning to visit Aoyama cemetery and take some photos of beautiful cherry blossoms.
