Cherry Blossom viewing is one of the most cherished festivals in Japan. The streets, parks, temples, and houses bloom with cherry blossom trees. It feels like a curtain of pink and white flowers delicately placed throughout the country.
As popularly known, Sakura is a central part of Japanese culture and tradition. It is seen everywhere, from paintings to kimonos and food items. As the snow melts, the spring season is seen as a fresh start and an opportunity for new beginnings.
The cherry blossom trees burst into pink swaying bloom. The place looks magical, like a postcard. People gather in thousands to view this natural spectacle and enjoy hanami.
The hanami tradition, where all family and friends gather together under cherry trees, has been there since the 8th century. Each park becomes a picnic spot and is flooded with locals and tourists.
The cherry blossom season usually starts in late March or early April in big cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. In warmer islands like Okinawa, you can witness the pink beauty as early as January.
Visiting Japan during Cherry Blossom is a visual treat.
