Cherry Blossom Timing – Chase Peak Bloom
We went April 23, 2025 to Aomori (in the north) for PEAK blossom day!
Cherry blossom timing varies by region. Hirosaki Castle in Aomori blooms earlier than Tokyo or Kyoto.
Check annual forecasts on the Japan Meteorological Corporation or Japan.travel Cherry Blossom Forecast to plan your trip for peak bloom. Timing your route ensures you don’t miss the iconic blossoms in multiple cities. When you arrive in the airport, the train station has a map with estimated peak bloom days.
