[Great spring destinations in Japan and South Korea] Ueda Park: stunning cherry blossoms

#Japan and Korea Springtime Destinations As you enter the park, you will see a dazzling sea of ​​pink and white flowers. There are nearly a thousand cherry trees planted in the park, and every spring the flowers bloom everywhere, making you feel like you are in a dreamy flower kingdom. Looking up, the whole garden is full of towering cherry trees swaying in the breeze, and cherry blossom petals falling from the sky, forming a poetic and picturesque scene. In addition to statically appreciating the beauty of the sea of ​​flowers, we also had a rare glimpse of the grand "Cherry Blossom Festival" held regularly every year in the park. On that day, the park was crowded with tourists wearing Hanfu and kimonos. The main park even had an open-air bar and barbecue area for people to picnic, boat and drink. What attracted me most was the dance performance of the dancers on the stage. As they danced, flower petals fell from the sky and blended with their dance moves, which was like a dream and breathtaking. Of course, such a grand cherry blossom viewing event is not complete without a variety of seasonal snacks. We ate sakura bread and sakura beer made with fresh sakura in the park. We also tasted the unique "sakura somen" delicacy at the traditional ceremony to commemorate the sakura god in the park, which had a unique flavor. This trip to Ueda Park not only satisfied my desire to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, but also allowed me to fully experience the unique charm of Japan's cherry blossom viewing culture. Those clouds of pink and white flowers reflect people's hundreds of years of piety and joy for the blooming flowers in spring, which is truly unforgettable.
