Cherry blossom season, or sakura season, is one of the most anticipated and celebrated times of the year in Japan. From late March to early April, Japan transforms into a breathtaking landscape of pink and white blossoms, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The fleeting beauty of sakura represents the Japanese philosophy of appreciating the impermanence of life, making it not only a visual spectacle but also a deeply cultural experience.

Sakura season is more than just a natural phenomenon; it is a nationwide celebration. The hanami (flower-viewing) tradition, dating back over a thousand years, encourages people to gather under the blooming cherry trees for picnics, tea ceremonies, and joyful gatherings with friends and family. Parks and famous landmarks such as Ueno Park in Tokyo, Maruyama Park in Kyoto, and Osaka Castle Park become vibrant with life as people enjoy the fleeting beauty of the blossoms.

Cherry blossoms also play a crucial role in Japanese pop culture, appearing in anime, traditional artworks, and even seasonal food and drink offerings. Many brands, including Starbucks Japan, release limited-edition sakura-themed merchandise and beverages, making this season even more exciting for locals and tourists alike.

Tokyo: Shinjuku Gyoen, Chidorigafuchi, Ueno Park

Kyoto: Philosopher's Path, Kiyomizu-dera, Maruyama Park

Osaka: Osaka Castle Park, Kema Sakuranomiya Park

Nara: Mount Yoshino (one of the most famous sakura spots in Japan)

Hokkaido: Goryokaku Park in Hakodate (best for late-blooming cherry blossoms)

Each year, the Japan Meteorological Agency releases a sakura forecast, helping visitors plan their trips to witness the peak bloom period, which typically lasts about a week.
