HORIZONS

SAKURA SEASON in Japan

In the spring months, Sakura season blankets Japan in pink and white petals that come and go in the blink of an eye. Rivers, streets and shrines are lined with people who are trying to get a look at the fleeting beauty of peak bloom. If you’re looking for your next adventure, check out some of the best locations to see the cherry blossoms before they fall.

20 Mar–

14 Apr

Mid Mar–

Early Apr

1. UENO PARK

The paths of Ueno Park are lined with over 1,000 cherry trees, the first of which were planted by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868). Located only four stops from Tokyo Station, Ueno Park is conveniently placed and a wonderful way for the whole family to see the blossoms. After the festival, the family can stop at the Ueno Zoo or one of the many museums surrounding the area to round out a day of fun.

2. OKAZAKI CANAL

The historical city of Kyoto is the backdrop to the Okazaki Canal, where hundreds of sakura trees border the waterway and create stunning scenery for a 25-minute canal cruise. Home to the Nanzen-ji Temple and the torii gate of Heian Shrine, a trip to Okazaki Canal is one that promises to be full of beautiful blossoms and traditional architecture.

19 Apr–

5 May

3. HIROSAKI CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL

Though the sakura trees are stunning to see in a daytime stroll, Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival offers an illumination that you won’t want to miss. With over 2,500 trees surrounding Hirosaki Castle and the park, this unique view of the blossoms is a detailed look at the variety of cherry trees that the season has to offer.

FUJI-Q HIGHLAND AMUSEMENT PARK

Fuji-Q Highland is one of Japan’s most popular amusement parks. Perched in the hills of the Fuji Five Lakes region with a breathtaking view of the mountain, the park offers a ride for every thrill seeker.
