A few more points on the flowers in Japan that you’ll want to take note of:
・The weather in Japan varies a lot from region to region. The blossoming dates I’ve written here are valid for most of Honshu island (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka), but can differ if you’re somewhere extremely hot or cold.
・Because the blossoming can be early or late (depending on the year), always check before you go somewhere specifically to see blossoms. Ask the hotel lobby to give the garden, temple or shrine a call and ask whether it is worth the visit.
・In this post I’ve listed the places that are the absolute best, but that’s far from all the sites with amazing blossoms. Ask about the blossoms in every city you go to. That way, you can discover places that only the locals know about, and which could be even better than the famous sites.
・There are loads of other flowers in Japan and seasonal natural phenomena worth seeing. Always look them up before your trip to get the best enjoyment of them.
