花見ーCherry blossom at Okazaki Castle

Spring is the time for cherry blossom viewing in Japan. Thousands of people gather at the parks to "look" at the beautiful blossoms before they fall...at least that is what they say. The truth is, this is just a time to go to the park and drink until you are stupid drunk. Me, I like the flowers, so I tend to avoid the drinking and focus on the beauty of the moment. You can drink anywhere at anytime, but cherry blossoms only bloom for about 2 weeks out of the year. So, during my spring vacation, my friend Simone and I took a day trip to Okazaki Castle to enjoy the exquisite blossoms.
