桜の季節/ Cherry blossoms season
少しずつ暖かくなってきて、東京はちょうど桜の時期を迎えています。
お花見をされた方も多いのではないでしょうか？
オフィスが六本木から新宿に移転して、初めてのお花見シーズンということもあり、
近所にある国立庭園にオフィスメンバーで花見に行ってきました。
入場するときは人気アトラクションみたいな行列で海外の方も多くいましたが、
木陰にシートをしき、のんびりランチをすることができてよかったです！
花見（桜をめでながら飲み食いする）習慣はとても日本らしいなと思います🌸
It’s getting warmer day by day, and Tokyo is finally welcoming the cherry blossom season. I bet many of you have already enjoyed "Hanami" (cherry blossom viewing)!
Since moving our office from Roppongi to Shinjuku, this was our very first cherry blossom season. So, the office members and I went to the nearby National Garden for Hanami.
When we arrived, the line to get in was so long it felt like a queue for a popular theme park ride! There were also a lot of tourists from abroad. But we managed to lay out our picnic sheet under the shade of the trees and had a relaxing lunch, which was great.
I really think the custom of Hanami—eating and drinking while admiring the sakura—is such a uniquely Japanese and beautiful tradition. 🌸
