What is inside
- Japan Meteorological Agency bloom averages for Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and cities farther north
- Tokyo full-bloom dates from 2021 to 2026, so you can see the swing
- The safer late-March to early-April window, and how to flip city order if the year runs early or late
- A booking timeline from holding refundable Kyoto hotels now through locking city order two or three weeks out
Travel information only. Bloom dates move every year, and nothing here is a guarantee.
