The best time to visit Japan it is often said is Cherry Blossum season. Japan seems to have an abundence of certain trees that around April explode into full bloom with spectacular results. Parties/feastivals (Haname) are held under the trees (any excuse) hot Sake (not pronounced Sa-key, but Sa-kay) , food stalls and a great atmosphere. Here are a few pictures taken around Kyoto (early Apirl 07 W.G) The willow tree is the centre piece in Maruya park (...and there was much rejoycing)
