Ueno Hanami 2017

Ueno Hanami 2017






Ueno Sakura Viewing. When I went there, I confirmed I was a bit late for all of it but it was still hella gorgeous! But late nonetheless. Because of my heavy sched, it's either I'm too early, or a bit late. What is my life?










This baby pink Sakura is gorgeous AF! It's also the first time I saw this. I guess traveling alone makes you see things a little better. 








Yas!




I wasn't actually alone all time. I was to meet friends but as per usual, I don't really like meeting up in Ueno because this already happened 2 years ago and it happened again. Man, when will we learn from our mistakes? I'll tell you in a bit. 










Ueno was busy. Just like it is every year. But it was also pretty. Just like it is every year. 












Ueno will always be dear to my heart. My family and I used to go there. A place of memories, I guess. 








Friends! After so many change of meet-ups, we finally met. I literally pulled my friend's hair when I saw them because I was already kind of irritated but meh, friends. 






fun times







Food trucks! They're the best.











We all had Okonomiyaki which is my go-to matsuri food and this Twister which was just as good! They had three flavors available. Shoyu Butter, Garlic, and Barbeque (what I had). It was good! 











I may have said bad things about the trauma of this place whatsoever but truth is, I am already looking forward to go here again next year. So there's the last post of this year's Hanami. See you again next year! :) Ciao!

Nakameguro Hanami 2017

Nakameguro Hanami 2017




Nakameguro






After work escapade. This one I went to after my night work so it was quite early in the morning when I arrived and it was so perfect for a morning walk. I mean, imagine all the Sakura trees greeting you in the morning. 










Nakameguro like I mentioned before is probably my favorite place for Hanami. I mean, probably only because there weren't a lot of people yet when I went because that's just who I am. 











Truth be told, I kind of thought I'd be missing Nakameguro again this year because I don't really have much time and all that but I'm really glad I was able to go! I think I was actually a bit late with all the flowers kind of already falling.
Man, it was still beautiful though. 







Selfie 





I'd probably go next time and feast properly. Probably. 









I will never get tired of this place ever. Unless you find me a workplace in here. Hahaha I remember saying the same thing about my workplace in Tokyo. Oh well. 










As per usual, I went to Mokē because you know, tradition. And also, I've been watching Terrace House Aloha State and this place I figured is sooo Hawaiian so why not?









I had Almond Pancake this time and it was so good as expected. I suggest you go here if you crave breakfast. So yeah, there's that. Ciao!

Yoyogi Park Hanami 2017

Yoyogi Park Hanami 2017




Yoyogi Park





I went here on my way to work as planned but then just thinking about how these trees only come to life one week and a few days in a year, I was like, no ma'am, you're not gonna settle for less. 











This park was actually recommended by my manager because she said it amazed her the first time she went and I was like, okay, must check it out because it's near work and all that so yeah. 











Little Sakura Tree seems to be getting a lot of attention and I can definitely see why. They're so cute AF. 












I'm so glad that despite all the busy things that I am involved to right now, I still managed to squeeze in time to adore nature.








central park vibes





Not that I've ever been to New York. Maybe soon. 







gorgeous






my kind of crown





So yeah, after work, I decided I go back. And it was full with people and trash. Meh. 













I actually went back to possibly eat Okonomiyaki but I saw this Potato Butter and I bought that instead. 








Jyaga Butter





I mean, I'm a sucker for carbs, ain't I?








Yas! 





I just wish people were more disciplined about their rubbish though. But all in all it was a good start for my Sakura adventure. Ciao!
