Actually it's not so popular to celebrating Hanamatsuri in Japan for ordinal people even they are Buddhist. I had not known that celebration when I wasn't a student of Buddhism high school.
I think only places where you can see some ceremonies are at temple of Joyodo denomination(such as Joyodo-shu, Joyodo Shin-shu, etc different as Zen Buddhism).
In their you may presented by Amacha(sweet tea, but it's different as English tea or green tea).
