Kochi City’s Horikawa Canal is so pretty in pink
Who is excited for the cherry blossom season soon to come? (ME)
The Horikawa Canal in Kochi City is one of my favorite places for hanami–a centuries-old tradition in Japan that is all about taking in the beauty of the soft pink flowers typically by having a picnic (the word literally translates to ‘flower-watching’). Usually between late March and early April, over 120 cherry trees bloom on either bank of the canal for about a kilometer
For your inspiration, here are three ways you could enjoy your Horikawa Canal hanami experience
Bring a couple onigiri (rice balls) and yummy snacks for an epic spring picnic
Take a stroll under the tunnel of cherry blossoms along the banks
Hop on one of the colorful sightseeing boats to see the cherry trees from a different angle
