More cherry blossoms!

On sunday, we went to Kyoto to see more flowers

It was Sunday, it was sunny, we knew the place was going to be very very busy, but

the weather forcast for the next day was bad, so we had to go on that day!

walking through the town after got off train in central Kyoto.

after 20minutes, we reached Maruyama Park, beautiful park right next to the Yasaka shrine.(I think the park used to be the part of shrine.)

The main gate is big and facing on to the street, people often use it as the meeting point.

Go up the steps and we saw.....

Lots of people and huge blue sheets!!

These blue sheets every where! People come early to reserve their space to do "Ohanami" and normally that is younger people in the group (kouhai)`s job!!

We found our space between those people, finally we can have our picnic!!

It was so hot, must had been 22c or more!, would have been very nice with a cold beer.....(well, i don`t drink but it was very merry there!) instead we had hot tea in a flask...

Rows of food stalls>>>>>
