The cherry blossom (aka "sakura") season is very short in Japan, and that is what makes the blossoms so special. The pretty pink flowers start to bloom around the end of March through until the beginning of May, depending on the area. For Tokyo, the cherry blossom season is starts at the end of March or beginning of April. Japanese people never grow tired of the cherry blossom season, eagerly awaiting the many goods and limited time treats that come with it. Many people participate in "hanami" or flower viewing which is almost always accompanied by drinks and friends. The hanami parties can be found anywhere there are cherry blossom trees. The sakura reach full bloom approximately one week after they start to blossom.

Japan has many rivers lined with sakura trees and when the flowers are in full bloom it is popular to take boat cruises to see the cherry blossoms up close! As the blossoms begin to fall, the rivers become a stunning sea of pink petals and a beautiful backdrop for photos.

Cherry blossoms can be found everywhere in the springtime along sidewalks, streets, and rivers. It would be close to impossible to find a spot without the spectacular trees.
