If you are dreaming of a trip to Japan, now is the perfect time to start planning. The official cherry blossom, or sakura, forecast has been released, showing when different regions across the country are expected to reach peak bloom.

Cherry blossoms only last for a short period, often just one to two weeks in each location. Blooming starts in the south and gradually moves north, giving travellers flexibility to choose destinations and dates that suit their plans.

Sakura season is more than just a visual spectacle. It is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and symbolises renewal, beauty, and the importance of appreciating the present moment. Parks and streets come alive as people gather to enjoy the blossoms together.

With forecasted dates now available, travellers can plan with confidence. If you needed a sign to start that Japan trip planning, this is it
