Cherry blossoms of Yanaka
Yanaka of Taitō city (ward) in Tōkyō is famous for cherry blossoms. A lot of cherry trees are in the Yanaka cemetery, when spring comes the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. A cherry blossom-viewing picnic here is prohibited now but we used to do that in the past. Here is the cemetery. I have seen it before but it was a strange sight.

On the sign it says, “It is strictly forbidden to take places or eat and drink for cherry blossom-viewing picnics in the cemetery, as it may bother the grave visitors and the neighborhood”.
