Spring in Japan, with its breathtaking cherry blossoms, is pure magic. At Japan Highlights, we specialize in creating custom cherry blossom tours that go beyond the ordinary. Here's what makes your experience special:
Discover Hidden Blossom Spots: Escape the crowds and explore tranquil gardens, local parks, and scenic countryside views. They're perfect for peaceful moments and beautiful photos.
Engage All Your Senses: It's more than just seeing blossoms. You can taste seasonal treats, enjoy traditional performances, and participate in local cherry blossom festivals to fully immerse yourself in Japan's spring culture.
Bookings for the 2026 cherry blossom season are now in full swing! Currently, the most sought-after travel period is March 25 to April 5.
- If your travel dates are flexible, consider visiting outside this peak window to enjoy a wider selection of hotels, a better chance of being assigned a more experienced guide, and generally lighter crowds at popular sights.
- If you plan to travel during these dates, we recommend starting your itinerary in Osaka or Kyoto and ending in Tokyo or another city. This helps balance guide availability and improve your tour arrangements.
With careful itinerary planning, we can help you see cherry blossoms in full bloom from late February through April. Just let us customize your trip.
