An iconic image of Japan, cherry blossom season brings a ricochet of beauty to the country\u2019s parks. For the last few years, the flowers have come earlier little by little, and this year is without exception. Although only by a few days, this is outside the characteristics of the blossoming season and could be a pattern that continues in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known locally as Sakura, as this is the name of the trees, the time the trees blossom varies throughout the country. In the north, you can expect to not see a flower until May, whereas in the south, areas such as Kochi will see their parks turning pink in mid-March.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you are a local or a traveller, the spectacular nature show from south to north is an experience not to be missed. From set menus to photo shoots and picnics in the park, in Japan, everything that revolves around looking at a cherry blossom is known as <\/span>hanami<\/span><\/i>. This event is somewhat of an annual ritual for Japanese people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sakura is Japan\u2019s best attraction, so don\u2019t miss an opportunity to embrace its beauty in these locations – contact one of Designer Journeys\u2019s Local Designers to start planning your trip<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Neighbouring the Kochi University of Technology, Kagamino Park is famed for its 200-metre tunnel of cherry blossom trees that, when in full bloom, create a magical experience as you are showered in pink and white during Sakura. With over 600 cherry blossom trees in the park, it has made it into the country’s top 10 spots for viewing. <\/span><\/p>\n
