Hanami social in Osaka Castle Park

Sunday, April 14, 2024 - 12:30pm to 4:30pm

Come join us for some friendly peer-, near-peer-, and community mentoring and networking at our annual hanami social in Osakajokoen (Osaka Castle Park)! It's FREE and open to everyone, so please bring family, friends, colleagues, students, pets, and acquaintances, or come alone if you prefer. All are welcome! Look for our blue JALT banner on the south side of the park, due south of the castle (and south of the south moat), and directly north of the NTT Building and to the west of the bus parking area. It's a short easy walk from Morinomiya or Tanimachiyonchome metro stations or JR Loop Line. We'll have plastic sheets to sit on and a few snacks to share, so stop by with a beverage and possibly more food to share, and maybe an additional sheet to sit on to be sure we have plenty of room to stretch out. Most importantly, be sure to bring a happy vibe to celebrate the cherry blossoms, the coming of spring, and the start of the new academic year! 
Please stop by whenever you can for as long or as short as you like. We look forward to seeing you! 

In case of rain, this event may be canceled, so please check back closer to the date to be sure it's on. Fingers crossed for good weather!!
