The cherry blossom has been an important symbol in Japan. Because of this, the Japanese hold the cherry blossom trees in high regard, and they don’t want you breaking off branches of the said trees. Unfortunately, tourists still do this up to this day, and this action angers the locals. Thankfully, there is a way for you to enjoy and immortalise the cherry blossom season without angering anyone.
If you don’t want to anger locals with questionable actions such as this, a place you’re guaranteed to get a winning pic is the Sakura Chill Bar, located in the stylish Minami-Aoyama, an upmarket district in Tokyo.
The bar contains a pool filled with 1.2 million imitation cherry blossom petals as a photo spot. The aesthetic is further compounded by a large tree with artfully draping branches over the pool. You can get in with your companions and take pictures fully immersed in the spirit of spring.
I’d definitely go in there. How about you?
