Cherry blossoms, known in Japan as sakura, are well-known around the world for their radiant, delicate, and transient beauty. However, they are more than simply beautiful trees, as Sakura has strong ties to Japan’s history, culture, and identity. Originally used to divine the year’s harvest, sakura came to embody wabi-sabi philosophy and Shinto ideals of impermanence, hope, and renewal and are now one of Japan’s most iconic natural symbols.


Adding to their magic and mystique, sakura is usually only in FULL BLOOM for around ONE WEEK. Across the diverse landscape of Japan’s main islands, this magical moment can occur between March to early May. There are many different varieties of cherry trees that produce blossoms in varying shades of pink and white. Some popular cherry blossom varieties include Yoshino cherry, Kwanzan cherry, and Okame cherry, each with its own unique characteristics and blooming patterns. After a brief period of full bloom, the small, delicate flowers start to flutter gracefully from their trees. The blossoms are said to be the most beautiful in this final stage as the white and pink petals gently float to the ground.

For many Japanese, the blooming of the cherry blossom trees symbolizes human life, transience, and nobleness. The Japanese love to celebrate and cherish the cherry blossom trees during the limited flowering period and many people hold ‘flower watching’ parties known as hanami.

Meeting point: Akasaka Station.
