Shinjuku Park Mayhem

On sunday we decided to head to Shinjuku park, one of the most popular places to view blossom on the most popular day of the year. We prepared ourselves for mayhem, but still weren't quite prepared for the sheer volume of people all heading to the park to see the blossom and have a picnic. There were traffic police controlling the flow of people and once you got to the park, it was v hard to find a space to lay our rug. Having said that, there was a jolly atmosphere and people were enjoying themselves after a rather stressful month for everyone.
