Cherry blossom viewing is one of the great pleasures of admiring the beautiful cherry blossoms while enjoying delicious food. However, because many people gather in one place, it is essential to be mindful of meal-related manners so that everyone can have a pleasant time.
Manners for Securing a Spot
Regarding securing a spot, first, check the park or facility’s rules and follow them. It is strictly forbidden to reserve spots in prohibited areas or to enter restricted areas. Secure only the space needed for your group and refrain from reserving excessive space. Also, reserving spots without anyone present can cause problems, so make sure someone is always there. Reserving spots from early morning may disturb nearby residents, so check the park’s opening hours and be sure to do so at a reasonable time.
Garbage Disposal and Environmental Protection
Garbage disposal is very important from the perspective of environmental protection. As a general rule, take your garbage home with you and bring garbage bags. If there is a place to dispose of garbage, sort it according to the rules of the local government or facility. In particular, leftover food and drinks can cause bad odors or attract crows if left unattended, so be sure to dispose of them properly.
Meal Contents and Consideration for Others
Regarding the content of meals and consideration for those around you, strong-smelling foods may bother those around you, so avoid them or be considerate of where you carry and eat them.
If you are serving alcohol, be careful not to drink too much and avoid disturbing those around you. It is strictly forbidden to make loud noises or bother other people.
Also, when bringing cherry blossom-viewing bento boxes, be careful of food poisoning, and pay attention to food management, especially on hot days.
Consideration for Noise
Regarding noise, consideration for those around you is also necessary. Loud conversations and loud music are not only a nuisance to other users, but also an obstruction to people who want to enjoy the cherry blossoms quietly. Especially at night, do not forget to be considerate of nearby residents and be very careful about the volume.
Rules for Using Fire
The use of fire is prohibited in many places. Be sure to check in advance whether fire is allowed. If you are having a barbecue, do so in the designated area, pay close attention to the fire, and try to prevent fires.
Protection of Cherry Trees
Protecting the cherry blossoms must not be forgotten. Cherry blossoms are very delicate trees. Never break branches, climb trees, or trample on the roots. Avoid touching the flowers as much as possible.
Other Manners
In addition, keep the toilets clean and use them in order even when they are crowded. Even in places where pets are allowed, be sure to wear a leash and the owner is responsible for disposing of excrement. Strictly refrain from disturbing other users, such as nuisance behavior due to drinking, entering prohibited areas, and illegal parking.
Enjoy Cherry Blossom Viewing Pleasantly
By observing these manners and being considerate of each other, everyone should be able to enjoy cherry blossom viewing pleasantly. Create wonderful memories under the beautiful cherry blossoms with delicious food.
