[Banquet style Hanami with foods and drinks]
The most popular style of Hanami is banquet style. Hanami is like a Japanese-style spring party under the trees of cherry. In the weekday evenings, people tend to celebrate Hanami for a welcome/farewell party with colleagues and as a event for company. And in lunch time and weekends, people tend to get together with friends or families at Hanami.

[Sit on the floor – casual style banquet]
Celebrating Hanami does not require any tables, chairs or table manners!
Hanami is very casual style banquet where you can just spread the plastic sheet on the ground and enjoy foods and drinks.

[Foods and drinks of your preference]
Just because Hanami is a Japanese banquet does not mean you have to eat Japanese food and drink sake. Foods could be Chinese or any other European cuisine. Of course, you can drink beers, wines or whatever you prefer.

[Mysterious beauty of cherry blossoms at night]
In the popular Hanami spot with banquet style, there is a light so that you can enjoy viewing cherry trees at night. Although the cherry flower which looks light pink under sunlight is charming, cherry flower lightened up at night adds the mysterious atmosphere and shows the beauty which is different from daytime.
