Every spring, people admire cherry blossoms and have a picnic party under the blooming trees.

This picnic party is also called “hanami (cherry blossom viewing)” and it is one of the most popular events of spring in Japan.

Starting from late March through early May, cherry blossoms across Japan will be in peak bloom in one region after another. Cherry blossoms in Kyushu start blooming earlier than other regions of Japan.

And the opening of cherry blossoms moves northward as time goes by. The blossoms will be falling in about one week after the peak bloom .

If you visit Japan in the cherry blossom season, why not be a bit more desirous and enjoy the different cherry blossom viewing.
