Hanami, also known as the Cherry Blossom Festival, is the best time to experience the beauty of mesmerizing bloom and the cultural explosion in Japan. Tourists flock from every part of the world to experience the captivating bloom that starts in January and lasts until May.
Various places throughout Japan have different timelines for the Sakura bloom, and with warmer spring arriving early, Sakura has been blooming much earlier than before.
Lucky for us, that means there are more opportunities to enjoy the Cherry blossom festival across the country. Hamani starts in Okinawa as early as mid-January, and Kyoto gets its first bloom in March and full bloom in Osaka in May.
Besides the cherry blossom highlight, Japan has so much more to offer. Our tours are designed to give you a cohesive experience featuring in-depth cultural expeditions along with the Hanami experience.
