Cherry blossom season is here, and you know what that means…it’s Hanami Time! For those who don’t know, “hanami” is Japanese for “cherry blossom viewing” and is incredibly popular in Japan. People go out in droves to the parks to have picnics and drunken parties under the cherry blossom. So, for those new to the hanami culture, here are some tips on how to make the most of your hanami experience. 1. Buy a ground sheet Picnic blankets just aren’t done here.

We get this question a lot. Is it okay to tip your tattoo artist in Japan?

Saniderm film

There is a whole science behind it, please red about it here: saniderm.com It is not recommend for people allergic to band-aid adhesive, so […]
