If money is no object, I'm saying Okinawa. If money is an object ... Kyoto!

All of those places are going to be pretty busy around that time. Osaka's crazy during Golden Week. If you're really set on going to one of these places, Okinawa or Hokkaido. Okinawa will be warm enough for swimming. Hokkaido will probably in Hanami season in early May. I've heard Hakodate for Hanami is amazing. Look into some more country places! They won't be nearly as crowded and countryside Japan is so beautiful!

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?
