With the cherry blossom season over bar a handful of the northern prefectures and Hokkaido, this survey struggles for relevance due to me being a bit slow to translate japan.internet.com’s report on goo Research’s o-hanami, cherry blossom viewing.
Demographics
Between the 28th and 30th of March 2013 1,087 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.6% of the sample were male, 13.4% in their teens, 15.6% in their twenties, 21.3% in their thirties, 17.1% in their forties, 15.1% in their fifties, and 17.4% aged sixty or older.
Technically, it is just any flower viewing, not just cherry blossoms, but I assume that the reference is to cherry blossoms only.
This year, I didn’t go to any cherry blossoms. In fact, now I think about it, I’ve only actually twice been to them, both with my wife – I’ve never taken part, and don’t really want to take part, in the ritual drinking on a blue sheet under the trees.

It’s the season of hanami, cherry blossom viewing, it’s Sunday, so that can only mean one thing, a goo Ranking on
failures encountered when being a cherry blossom party organiser.
Demographics
Over the 22nd and 23rd of February 2010 1,123 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 58.6% of the sample were female, 9.6% in their teens, 22.2% in their twenties, 32.1% in their thirties, 24.9% in their forties, 7.5% in their fifties, and 3.8% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
Hanami, cherry blossom viewing parties, are very popular events here, where groups get together and get drunk under the cherry blossoms. Thinking about it, I’ve never actually been to such a party, and I don’t really want to go either.
