During your time in Japan, you might have noticed that we have many traditions to go with every one of the four seasons. Spring brings a bounty of flowers, seasonal foods and traditions for you to experience.

The season is one of the most anticipated seasons as it involves the arrival of warmer temperatures and cherry blossoms. Soon, cherry blossom spots will draw people in for hanami, a spring tradition for picnics under the blush blooms. Hanami is one of the more popular and well-known traditions, but there are many more for you to ring in the arrival of spring.

These are some of my favorite spring traditions. Enjoy the long-awaited season with the joy and fun of the unique traditions.
