Hanami "花見 = flower viewing" is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers, which commonly refers to Cherry Blossom, and less frequently to Plum "ume" trees; Umemi "梅見 = plum-viewing"

In Japan, from the end of March to early May, cherry trees bloom all over the country. On the Island of Okinawa, cherry blossom can be expected as early as the first of February.

February and March is the tax season in Japan. Filing a tax return isn’t really easy, but doing it in different language and in another country can be especially challenging.

Luckily, if you work for an organization and that’s your only source of income, they will manage everything for you. But, if you have more than one source of income or are self-employed, you need to file a Tax Return "Kakutei Shinkoku - 確定申告".

Anyone with an interest in Japan should learn a little Japanese. Travelers need to know a few survival phrases; correct expressions for greetings, daily shopping, asking direction and suchlike. When you know few key phrases the daily life is easier and more pleasant.
