Hanami in Shibuya

Looking at flowers or lack there off. Hannami In Shibuya
I am not really into the whole hannami thing that happens every year. The cherry blossoms bloom and you sit under the trees in a park and admire them, while getting drunk, ussually. 

I like to drink so it is a good time for me if I can go. Plus it is a very big social event for most Japanese especially here in Tokyo where the people out number the trees 1000 to 1. If you go too late in the afternoon it can be pretty messy. It is best not to look at the ground but instead look up at the flowers, you might see the results of someones over indulgance. 
This year I was unable to attend a single hannami event due to other engagements and just generally being busy with work and family. I did how ever manage to grab a Hannami in Shibuyashot of a few seasonal sites near my office.
