Book your cherry blossom holiday in Japan

The blooming of Japan’s sakura (cherry blossoms) ignites a nationwide cultural phenomenon, the hanami (flower viewing) season.

 

Dating back over 1,200 years to the Heian period, the fleeting, fragile life of the blossoms quickly replaced the sturdier plum, embodying mono no aware, the bittersweet appreciation of transience. This philosophical depth translates today into a spectacular, highly planned, and intensely competitive national celebration.

 

Peak cherry blossom bloom, or mankai, lasts barely a week, typically hitting Tokyo and Kyoto from late March to early April. This coincides with the fiscal and school year start, transforming hanami into a massive welcome and farewell party.

 

Key city spots like Tokyo's ethereal Meguro River, famous for its night-time yozakura, and Kyoto’s historic Philosopher’s Path, are essential stops on your Japan cherry blossom itinerary. 

 

Because the dates shift based on weather, it's important to keep an eye on the local weather forecast and book your travel well in advance. 

 

Book directly with Accor to secure the best available rate on Japan cherry blossom hotels, placing you in the heart of the season’s beauty. Whether it’s Tokyo’s buzzy city parks, Kyoto’s tranquil riverside walks, or Osaka’s historic castle grounds, discover prime locations that put you close to the blossoms.

 

Enjoy a special Members' Rate, Reward points, and exclusive benefits when you join the ALL Accor loyalty programme and book direct on ALL.com. 

 

Plan your spring getaway now and experience the journey of a lifetime before the final petals fall.
