When is Cherry Blossom Season in Japan?Ā 

Typically, cherry blossom season in Tokyo occurs from late March to early April, with full bloom usually happening around the first week of April. However, weather conditions can vary each year, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on the cherry blossom forecast before your visit.

On January 9, 2025, the Japan Meteorological Corporation released the first flowering forecast for the 2025 season. Tokyo's full bloom is expected around March 24!Check the News section on the JMC website for the latest blooming forecasts >Ā

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
"Hi, Iā€™m Clizia, AKA American Coffee Travel ā€“ your guide to the world! Iā€™ve been sharing my stories from every corner of the globe on social media, since 2014. Explorer at heart and passionate planner. With 30+ countries, 4 continents, and nearly two decades of travel planning experience, I think that the world is best traveled when every detail is planned. Follow me on FB and Instagram @americancoffeetravel Iā€™ve explored the world in every way imaginable ā€“ from full-time babysitting to not-very-cozy car camping. For me, travel isnā€™t just about the big moments; itā€™s about the small, beautiful details: the unique taste of coffee, a flower Iā€™ve never seen before, the scent of foreign food, or even the design of a manhole cover. Every detail is cherished in my heart, and Iā€™m here to share how even the simplest moments can become unforgettable memories. Japan is a place that Iā€™ve been calling home. From Solo adventures to trips with friends, Iā€™ve traveled and lived in the country, immersing myself in its rich culture, hidden gems, and rhythms. My love for Japan, its culture, and its landscapes makes me the perfect guide to this unique country. Currently based in Australia, Iā€™ve traveled over 10,000 km exploring its beautiful nature. If you're looking for the ultimate road trip experience, Iā€™ve got you covered. Car camping is my gem, and with Australiaā€™s incredible national parks, youā€™ll be immersed in jaw-dropping landscapes, and new fauna.
