Kobe and it's gardens

#cherryblossom2024 Kobe is a city with beautiful gardens. Kobe gardens such as Nunobiki, Suma Rikyu Park and Sorakuen Garden are the real gems of the city. Next to them are Osaka Castle, Nishinomaru Garden and Okochi Sanso Garden. All of them are distinguished by their beauty and uniqueness. If you love nature and beautiful places, then be sure to visit these gardens in Kobe. Naturally, absolutely every park is suitable for admiring sakura. Kobe is the perfect place to enjoy the views of sakura. At the same time, ropes and signs mark out which sakura trees you can sit under and which ones you can't. Of course, everyone follows the rules. By the number of people, even on a weekday and in the afternoon! The Hanami festival (literally, contemplation of flowers; as a rule, sakura) resembles folk festivals. Everyone stocks up on lunch in a box ("bento"; we bought our own at the store near the station), water or beer (in the late afternoon), spread a rug under a free sakura tree or sit on the rocks. And then they eat, drink, look at sakura, take pictures of sakura, take pictures with sakura, chat with friends. If you don't have enough bento, you can run to the nearest market with food and buy yourself takoyaki, a hot dog or something else harmful, but insanely delicious. There are also vending machines with water and ice cream, as well as souvenir shops. Since sakura is now in a state "the day before the peak of flowering", quite a few petals fall off. The classic scene from the anime "a guy and a girl are walking under the trees, and it's raining naturally pink from above" will be observed in about a week.
