Tour of Japan's sakura
The Japanese cherry blossom is one of the many highlights of Japan. In spring, Japan turns completely pink, the cherry blossom is in bloom. Beautiful trees decked in white and pink give busy Japan a completely different look. Enjoy a beautiful, romantic walk through Japanese Sakura in Shinjuku Gyoen park or along the Meguro River. Special festivals called Hanami Matsuri are held all over the country. The Japanese take to the streets en masse and enjoy with family and friends under a pink-colored blossom tree. Flowering begins around March in the south and ends in the north on Hokkaido in late April. But beware, it is not a constant bloom, the flowering is only short.
