I've been reading a little about this. I've seen amazing imagery in movies of the Cherry blossoms falling in different movies, but I had not idea that it was such a big event in Japanese culture.
Viewing the blossoms fall is almost a spiritual thing to the Japanese. Right when the bleak winter skies start to fade away a gentle breeze will cause the blossoms to fall like tiny pink snowflakes.
Yoshino Mountain in the Yoshino-Kumano National Park is covered with tens of thousands of old cherry trees.
Turns out to the Japanese the blossom is a symbol of mortality, the kamikaze pilots used to paint them on the sides of their planes during WWII.
It would be an amazing experience to go see this. If you've been and would like something to remember this place by, or are looking for a special unique gift for that loved one that traveled there with you, I suggest you purchase this location on Earth Claim, and give the certificate to them as a Christmas Gift.
