Hanami (花見, lit. "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms (Jp. sakura), or also ume blossoms (sometimes called "apricot" or "plum").

Walkerplus provides info in Japanese only but still you can enjoy pictures.

It is sometimes difficult to get local info and overview of Japan.
Japan National Tourist Organization provides over view of Japan including beautiful pictures of catsles and scenery and statistics.
Definitely one of the biggest web site which provides tourist info.

If you live in Osaka or planning to move in Osaka, you can have a look at Osaka Visitor's Guide
