What this means is that it's time for everyone to go out for drinks in the parks. Japan is rather amazing in the sense that it is legal for people to be walking around town drinking. In most western countries, you'd get a warning or some kind of ticket for that kind of behavior. Banning of public consumption of alcohol in Japan is just unimaginable. The other amazing thing is that when even drunk, everyone is still very well under control -- even after a drunken picnic outside, almost everyone is able to leave without a trace of garbage behind.
Cherry blossom picnics out here look something like this and there was plenty of it over the weekends. Still recovering from all the beer I've consumed.
