Cherry blossoms by day and night

It was cherry blossom season and Yukino and I did our best to see as much as possible.  While this area didn't have any, it is a really nice place to hang out and have a coffee-

Osaka Castle Park is one of the most popular areas for cherry blossoms and it really is an amazing place to see them-



The next day we went out to check it out during the day.  Near the entrance are a bunch of these trees that look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book-

People were out in full force taking advantage of the white coverage the trees provided-


A few minutes away is Sakuranomiya, another place famous for cherry blossoms-




This is the most extravagant homeless house I have ever seen- 


I had never seen such extravagant food stalls either.  They were amazing with full service food dishes, music, and places to sit inside-

I took a break with a draft beer on the river-

Fresh seafood was readily available-


Interesting-

Later that night we joined some friends for some midnight cherry blossom action-
