2025 cherry blossom maps suggest warm winter doesn't ensure early blooms.
Japanese cherry blossoms are expected to bloom in major cities starting March 21, 2025, with varying dates across the country.
Let’s talk about the cherry blossom season in Japan. It’s the event everyone waits for, but here’s the catch: it’s short! The forecasts from Weather News for 2025 are in, and the sakura are expected to kick off in Tokyo on March 21, a full three days early. Just a day later, Yokohama and Kochi will join the party, blooming on March 22. Other key dates include Hiroshima on March 23 and Osaka on March 26, all while places like Akita and Aomori wait until April 13 and 18, respectively.
Now, don’t get too cozy; predictions can change! This year’s warmer autumn may delay blooming in warm regions like Kinki and Kyushu, but overall, the forecast suggests an early start in northeastern Japan due to mild temperatures. Just remember, sakura blooms take about a week to go from initial opening to full-on gorgeous. So, if you’re planning a trip, keep your eyes peeled for updates because you won’t want to miss this fleeting beautiful spectacle!
