Destinations are available across the globe including some of the world’s most popular tourist attractions, such as the famous cherry blossoms of Japan.
Known as “Sakura” in Japan, the cherry blossom is one of the country’s most enduring symbols. Each spring, millions of Japanese and international tourists roam throughout the country to celebrate the season and participate in local festivals. Here are our top three destinations for a truly picturesque experience.
1. Kyoto. Kyoto is one of Japan’s top tourist destinations year-round with significant activity during the cherry blossom season. The city is home to dozens of prime cherry-blossom viewing spots, with Maruyama Park being the most popular thanks to its nearly 700 cherry trees and famed Weeping Cherry of Gion.
2. Tokyo. Japan’s largest and most famous city is also one the country’s premier places to view cherry blossoms. Parks in the Ueno and Shinjuku neighborhoods offer convenient access to hundreds of trees, while Nakameguro features an enchanting cherry blossom lined canal.
3. Hokkaido. Travelers who arrive in Japan too late for the early-spring cherry blossom viewings can still participate in the tradition by traveling north to the island of Hokkaido. Thanks to its northern latitude, spring comes later here with cherry blossoms blooming well into May. The island’s largest city, Sapporo, boasts thousands of cherry trees across its many parks and boulevards.
