We went into Akashi park on Sunday (along with most of the rest of Akashi city it seemed like) and had a good time eating a bento, drinking some beer, and sitting under the blossoms. The blossoms were nearly in full bloom, so it was perfect timing for us. Getting a day when we both have time off is rare enough, but timing it with the blooming of the cherry trees is even more tough.
We spent a couple of hours in the park, and finally went back into town to do some shopping and then head home to relax. An excellent event this year.
