Hanami at Tokyo Bay

When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, everyone does "hanami" which is a picnic under the cherry blossoms, essentially. Most people go to larger parks to enjoy the massive amount of sakura trees in full bloom. However, we do not like the crowds. So, after my friend Beki returned to the US, we did hanami with another Japanese/American family at Harumi Futo...we got a spot under a sakura tree and had rainbow bridge and Tokyo tower in our view. It was so fun. We started at noon and basically ate and sat all day while the kids played in dirt. Our friends had a small grill and the food was amazing...just like a BBQ in your backyard in the US.
