Nowhere does cherry blossom season quite like Japan.
If you have never been to Japan during cherry blossom season, then by all means make spring your next trip to Japan!

Due to the blossom’s short life, it may be tricky timing a trip to see how everything turns pink.
However, because of Japan’s geography, we can enjoy cherry blossom throughout a period of two months, starting from mid-March in Kyushu in the south, right up to mid-May in Hokkaido in the north.

There’s even a Japanese word, Hanami, specifically devoted to the viewing of cherry blossoms and picnicking beneath trees.
You can also refer to japan-guide.com for information on cherry blossom viewing spots and the typical timing for best viewing.
Why not plan a next trip to experience Hanami in JAPAN?
