The cherry blossom season in Tokyo is upon us. Yoyogi Park, above, is one of the optimal places for a crazy hanami party. Companies often send an employee to reserve space with a blue tarp for the evening party. Chidorigafuchi moat and Shinjuku Gyoen Park also attract serious photographers looking to catch the perfect photo of lovers basking in the blossoms or taking a rowboat out in the moat water. Nakameguro is likely to be the most crowded spot, as droves of tourists and Japanese alike stroll along the Meguro River to take in the scenic rows of sakura trees.

Nothing says blossom-time like a sea of blue tarps.

What Jonathan said. For your roof after typhoon damage, sure, but why someone can't make a green or brown or even pink tarp for hanami season. It's ghastly. Orange cones and blue tarps--it's an assault on aesthetics.

Stunning!

Icy weather returning from tomorrow evening. Next Friday the temps should rise again. (?)

Isn’t it a bit of a cheek, nabbing the best spots ahead of everyone else? Nearly as bad as German tourists getting up in the middle of the night to put their towels on the best sun loungers!

Zichi, like your suggestions, though perhaps not the plastic grass. How about a nice tartan picnic rug? A proper wicker hamper full of goodies to go with it of course.
