Golden Week Holiday

The period from the end of April to the beginning of May are the holidays known in Japan as Golden Week, when there are four national holidays. During this holiday, wherever you go there are lot of people, the cost of the trip goes up in price. Normally I don't go away during this preiod. Rather I go to a hairdressing shop to refresh and enjoy places near to me.

I visited my grandmother a couple days ago, and there were still beautiful cherry blossams. They were late in blooming this year. In Sendai, they started falling, but you can enjoy the cherry blossoms in Northern Miyagi or other parts during this holiday. Be prepared for congestion.
