Cherry Blossom Viewing Holidays

In Japan they call it ‘hanami’ and this means ‘to view the flowers’. Experiencing the exquisite beauty of countless cherry trees bursting into bloom has become the quintessential, Japanese experience. 

You have devotees checking daily weather reports to see if the ‘sakura’ (cherry blossom) has begun to bloom. Now they don’t normally last very long, only normally a few weeks and it tends to happen in March and April. Occasionally a late bloom will take you into May – Be sure to check the local reports! 

Anyone deciding on a spring time holiday to Japan is sure to experience an exceptional, natural event in the seasonal calendar.

It’s said to have begun in the late 8th century and the flower viewing tradition, is widely believed to have started in the Nara Period.

The castle town of Hirosaki, which holds a Sakura-matsuri festival, is one notable Japanese city famous for its bountiful cherry blossoms that draw people from both near and far.

Tokyo in the spring time hosts 1,200 cherry trees bursting to life. This happens at Ueno Park and includes the Tokyo National Museum, National Science Museum, and Japan's first zoological garden.
