Post Cherry Blossom Season

Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) are Japan's unoffical flower. These flowers bloom annually and there are many "Cherry Blossom Festivals" that can be experienced throughout Japan. Depending on where you are in Japan the Cherry Blossoms may bloom as early as January or as late as May. These beautiful flowers do not last very long so you'll want to catch the season at the right time.

Helpful Tip:
Check this site for an estimated time of the first blossoms.

Hi, A good book on chasing the cherry blossom front from south to north Japan is Hokkaido Highway Blues by Will Ferguson. It will inspire you to see the cherry blossom!

Perhaps sakura has the closest link with Japanese culture. Sakura trees can be seen all over Japan from the northern end to southern.
