Special cherry blossom viewing tours in spring 2025!
The cherry blossom season is approaching this year again!
The season when Tokyo and Japan shine the most beautifully is just around the corner.
Why don’t you go on a beautiful cherry blossom tour with a guide from a plant expert?
Do you know how many varieties of cherry blossoms there are in Japan? It is said that there are 200 to 300 varieties. You can watch some of them in the slideshow.
Cherry blossoms start blooming in February and continue to bloom until the end of April.
The most beautiful time is from the end of March to the beginning of April, when the Somei Yoshino cherry tree, which is planted most often in Japan, is in full bloom, but the most beautiful peak can be moved by about a week each year due to winter temperatures.
But don’t worry. An expert who knows Tokyo’s cherry blossoms inside and out will guide you to the most beautiful places at each time, so you will surely be able to see beautiful cherry blossoms from mid-March to mid-April.
