Question
I’m planning to visit Japan during cherry blossom season. I have heard about the “hanami” tradition and want to participate in it but I’m unsure how to ask, “Where is a good place for hanami?” in Japanese. Can you help me with that?

Where is a good place for hanami?
“Hanami” is the Japanese tradition of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms. The phrase “yoi basho” means “good place,” which can be useful when asking for recommendations for any activity. To ask for good locations for other activities, you can replace “hanami” with the activity of your interest, like “shopping” or “hiking.”
The word “doko” means “where,” so you can use it to inquire about the location of various places. Enjoy your hanami experience!
