Japan's cherry blossom forecast indicates full bloom (mankai sakura) will arrive earlier, particularly in Tokyo.
Cherry blossoms in Japan are predicted to bloom earlier this year, except in Hokkaido, according to meteorologists' forecasts.
Sakura season in Japan is about to kick off, and it's happening earlier this year! Meteorologists are predicting that cherry blossoms will bloom ahead of last year's schedule, with some spots in Japan blooming a week early. The first blooms in Tokyo are projected to start on March 21, while regions like Kagoshima are seeing openings as early as March 25. The full-bloom dates are looking even better, with Tokyo's full bloom expected on March 28, which is a full week ahead of last year.
For those planning their hanami outings, get ready because Kyoto's full bloom is set for April 2 too, earlier than usual. While some northern areas like Hokkaido have pushed back bloom predictions by about a week, those in southern Japan should start making their cherry blossom plans now. Don't fret if you miss peak bloom; the sakura's late-blooming beauties are just as mesmerizing!
