Sakura #2: Asagaya-jūtaku
Today we went to hanami in Asagaya-jūtaku, a nice residential area that's been set to be demolished and rebuilt into taller buildings. The demolition was first set to happen a year or two ago, but it has been postponed and so far the area remains as is, although most people have moved out already.
We were lucky to have great weather! We sat in the same park as two years ago and had a nice time eating while watching the flowered trees. There were quite a bit of people of all ages doing the same thing. One apartment nearby was used for selling bentō (unfortunately sold out) and muffins.
When we were done eating, we went for a walk along the nearby river, which was more crowded with lines of people on their blue sheets.
A very nice neighborhood!
What? Not enough cats? Ok, here you go!
