Enter Sakura Season

As every year, the cherry blossom season is starting in Japan, or did it already? Anyway, while Japanese enjoying to gather together under cherry-trees to have a glimpse at the blossoms of the sakura 桜 (in fact, it is only about drinking beer and sake with friends ;) , a lot of festivals are held throughout the country. One of them happens to be held in Nakano 中野, a station close to the place where I live right now.

Typically, a lot of balloons with the names written of the sponsors can be seen.
