Do you have any plans for hanami (cherry blossom viewing)? If you'd like, would you join me? Let's take bento boxes and eat under the blossoms.

いいですね！桜が一番咲く頃に行きましょう。去年は上野公園に行ったんですよ。
いいですね！さくらがいちばんさくころにいきましょう。きょねんはうえのこうえんにいったんですよ。
Sounds great! Let's go when the cherry blossoms are at their peak. I went to Ueno Park last year.
Gesture & etiquette
Show genuine excitement about the blossoms; ask which area they recommend; prepare a waterproof picnic sheet (ブルーシート) and food to share — hanami is intensely social and the sharing of food and drink is central to the experience.
Hanami (花見 = flower viewing) is one of Japan's most beloved spring traditions — typically late March to early April; bringing food and drink to enjoy under the cherry trees is expected; expressing enthusiasm for hanami is one of the fastest ways to bond with Japanese friends and colleagues.
