What is the best time to see the cherry blossoms in Japan?
There’s only a small window of opportunity to see the cherry blossoms in Japan. A symbol of spring, the trees start to flower from mid-March until late May, depending on the weather and area of Japan.
If you want to make sure you don’t miss out, the Japan Meteorological Corporation has predicted the best full-bloom dates for Japan in 2025, and you can find out more here.

According to predictions, the best time to visit is late March to mid-April, but there'll still be plenty of blossom to feast your eyes on later on well into May.

But that’s not the only reason to visit Japan this season. The country is renowned for its history, culture, and cuisine, and there's plenty to see and do.
Whether you’re up for hikes in its sprawling national parks (Shiretoko National Park is a must), sampling street food in Tokyo’s bustling streets, or a boat ride along Fushimi’s picturesque canals, there’s something for every traveller to get stuck into.
