Cherry Blossom Viewing Becomes a 'Picnic'? Outdoor Brand Proposes Spring Leisure Style, Amazon New Life Sale Also Held

Fun Standard Inc. (RKB Mainichi Holdings Group, Headquarters: Onojo City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Representative Directors: Ryosuke Oya, Hiroki Sasamori), through its brand PYKES PEAK, proposes an outdoor style for enjoying cherry blossom viewing more comfortably during the spring leisure season.

In recent years, in addition to the traditional style of "enjoying food and drinks under the cherry blossoms," cherry blossom viewing is increasingly enjoyed as a leisure activity where people spend time relaxing, much like a picnic. As "stay-type hanami," where families and friends spend long hours in parks and along riverbanks, becomes more widespread, interest in outdoor gear for comfortable enjoyment is also growing.

Recently, this picnic-style hanami has been widely seen on social media and other platforms.

Cherry Blossom Viewing: From a "Viewing Event" to a "Leisure Activity" Cherry blossom viewing is a quintessential spring event.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend to enjoy cherry blossoms not just for appreciation, but as a "leisure activity" where people spend relaxed time in parks and along riverbanks.

For example: * Enjoying a picnic with family * Spending leisurely time with friends from noon until evening * Spreading a leisure sheet in a park and enjoying a meal

As such, cases where people spend longer hours outdoors are increasing.

Along with this change in how people spend their time, interest in preparations and items for a more comfortable experience is also rising.

Common "Comfort Challenges" during Cherry Blossom Viewing To enjoy cherry blossom viewing more comfortably, there are several challenges.

1. No place to put food and drinks If only a leisure sheet is used, lunch boxes and drinks must be placed directly on the ground, which can make eating difficult or unstable.

2. Trouble with garbage disposal During hanami, a lot of garbage such as food and drink containers, paper plates, and plastic bottles are generated, which can lead to a lack of disposal space and a messy environment.

3. Difficulty managing the temperature of drinks and food Spring often brings warm days, and spending long hours outdoors can cause drinks to become lukewarm and make food management difficult.

"Comfortable Cherry Blossom Viewing" with Outdoor Gear Many people gather at popular cherry blossom viewing spots, so preparation is crucial for a comfortable experience. Incorporating outdoor gear such as tables, trash cans, and cooler boxes can lead to a more comfortable hanami.

Outdoor brand PYKES PEAK offers outdoor gear that is utilized not only for camping but also for everyday leisure scenes such as picnics in parks and cherry blossom viewing.

For example, the following products are available as items to enjoy cherry blossom viewing more comfortably:
