Hanami – Spring in Japan!

On the afternoon of Sunday, March 31st, students from Spring School gathered at the vibrant Akashi Park, situated in the city of Hekinan, Japan. This was no ordinary day; It was the day of the long-awaited Hanami, an ancient Japanese tradition of contemplating the beautiful cherry blossoms, known as sakura.

With picnic baskets, our students were ready to dive into this unique experience.

Despite it having rained a lot in the previous weeks, it was possible to admire the beauty of the famous flowers.

Once we found our perfect picnic spot under the shade of the flowering trees, our students gathered for an afternoon of music and fun. From classics from the Japanese universe to contemporary songs; The park was filled with so much joy!

While the adults enjoyed the melodies, the children ran and played on the green grass. Between laughter and jokes, the charm that Hanami provided to everyone present was evident.

At dusk, as the sun set over the horizon, our hearts overflowed with gratitude for this truly magical experience. Hanami was not just a celebration of cherry blossoms, but also a celebration of life, friendship and the joy we share together.

And so, with smiles on our faces and precious memories in our hearts, we say goodbye, looking forward to the next adventure that spring has in store for us.

Come with us and SPRING YOUR LIFE!
