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.
