Japan has many unique and magnificent qualities. From the futuristic fashion icons and Modern buildings to the rich culture and heritage, it is hardly surprising that the sites of Japan are on countless bucket lists. One of the most iconic features of Japan is the stunning cherry blossoms that bloom across the country each year. Clouds of pink petals adorn the streets and are widely considered as a symbol of Japan, bringing in millions of visitors wishing to enjoy the beauty of the trees. If you’re visiting in 2020, you will want to know the cherry blossom forecast. Read on to find out more.
January-February
Many of the people wanting to visit in January and February are there to enjoy the fantastic winter sports destinations that the mountains boast. The heavy snowfall that gathers on the mountain ranges in these months has a powdery quality which makes for perfect snow-sport conditions. However, as we are sure you can appreciate, this is not the place to enjoy cherry blossoms. To view the stunning Spring Time phenomenon, you would have to travel to the southern islands. Here you will find a slightly different sort of experience, but you can still enjoy the cherry blossom festival that takes place in Yogi Park. Here you will discover the gorgeous cherry blossoms of Okinawa. Their colouring is deeper pink and the blossoms, rather peculiarly, bloom in a downward direction, which makes them different from the Cherry Blossoms found in other areas of Japan.
March – April
March and April are the ultimate times to visit mainland Japan to view the spectacular Cherry Blossom Displays and enjoy a festival or two in the process. The months of March and April welcome the most promising times to view the blossoms across the country. When staying in Tokyo, we recommend that you opt for the Shinjuku Gyoen Nation Garden. Voted one of the top 10 viewing spots for cherry blossoms, this Nation Garden is a fantastic place to enjoy a picnic, after taking a stroll down the picture-perfect paths that travel deep among the vibrant blossoms. When staying in Tokyo, you should look no further than Shinagawa Hotel Accommodation. Here, not only will you find timelessly elegant interiors and cosy rooms, but also an impressive selection of facilities and over 9 restaurants!
May
May is the latest time that you can enjoy Cherry Blossoms in Japan, and you will have to travel north to do so. Although the forecasts for Mainland Japan show that the blossoms will be long gone, you can still catch them in the Northern Island of Hokkaido. Hokkaido is known and loved for it’s fantastic winter sports facilities, but all too often doesn’t get the credit it deserves for its stunning springtime displays. We recommend that after you’ve explored Tokyo and treated yourself to a stay at the gorgeous Shinagawa Hotel’s Accommodation, you head up to this stunning part of Japan. The Shirogane Blue Pond is a picturesque location where you can unwind away from the crowds of the city and enjoy the blossoms next to the crystal clear waters of the pond, which on a still day, mirror the vibrant colours of the blossoms.
