Japanese consider flower viewing as a traditional custom and  still ongoing Japanese custom.This is called "Hanami".On the hanami days most Japanese families like to sit under the Sakura trees and enjoy with drinks and the shorties or what ever they can eat while enjoying the nature.Most of the families get together this period of time and they enjoy the nature much.The fragrant of the flower and the view of the flowers make every person happy and it can not be expressed by words.It is the feeling of coming into the peace and the calmness with the nature as i feel.Then,also the warmth of the sun makes the feelings of every people active and the Japanese kids like to play around those trees during this time of the period.

Most of the parks are bright with the lights and people have their freedom to visit at night also.The Beppu koen. is one of the amazing parks situated in Oita prefecture and i visited this park in each and every "hanami "festival season.This gives me the feeling of the solitude and happiness that i felt never before in life.The nature can do miracles so as the Sakura flowers i believe.
