Come out and enjoy one of Japan’s most famous Cherry Blossom Festivals with some of the JET community!
We know a lot of us are taking full advantage of Golden week vacation days, but we also know that a big chunk of us are stickin around Aomori to enjoy Hanami! That’s where we come in!
We want to give everyone a place to chill out and relax among the blossoms! There are some good ol American fun and games to be had too! (Pit, cards, TWISTER!!) We’ll meet around 2ish then walk around/eat/row each other in blue boats around the moat and just spend time together. We have some footballs and flags for a good ‘ol game of flag football! We also have night time illumination for those who are staying well into the night (and morning). Is karaoke in the cards!? Pooooooossibly:)
Please invite any Japanese friends too! We’ve got some already comin! Call or email Tori if you need a place to crash!
JETの仲間達で日本で最も有名な祭りの一つ、弘前桜祭りに行こう！
ゴールデンウィークはそれぞれに計画があると思いますが、青森に残って花見を楽しむって人も多いと思います。一緒に行きませんか？！
桜の中のゆったりと楽しめる場所で、懐かしいアメリカのゲームなんかするのもいいと思います。（Pit, cards, TWISTER!!など）
14時くらいに現地集合で、散歩したり、食べたり飲んだり、ボートをこいだりしてみんなで過ごしませんか？？
夜遅くや（朝まで）滞在できる人は、イルミネーションを楽しんだり、カラオケに行ってもいいかも！
日本人の友達を誘い合わせて、是非参加してください！
宿泊場所が必要な人は、Toriまで連絡ください
