岡崎お花見際
These excellent photos and video of this year's Cherry Blossom Festival at Okazaki Castle in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture were kindly sent by Okazaki resident Joel Hadley Jr.
The festival takes place over the first 10 days or so of April when the trees are usually in full bloom.
There are around 800 cherry trees in Okazaki Park and the festival runs through the day and night. Many food stalls (yatai) are set up to serve the 1,000's of people who attend from all over the region.
The nearest stations to Okazaki Park are either Higashi Okazaki or Okazaki Station on the Meitetsu Line from Meitetsu Nagoya Station.
You can see more of Joel's take on Japan on his YouTube channel.
