【English Translation】
Everyone, it’s still January, but the cherry blossom forecast for this year is already out!
Cherry blossoms usually start blooming around March to April, but in Japan, the timing is different depending on the north and the south.
The moment cherry blossoms start to bloom is called 「Kaika」 in Japanese!
And guessing something that isn’t 100% certain yet is called 「Yosoo」.
So in Japanese, the cherry blossom forecast is called 「Sakura Kaika Yosoo」!
First, Northern Japan! Sapporo in Hokkaido is expected around 4/25, Aomori around 4/17, Akita around 4/12, and Sendai in Miyagi around 4/4
In the Tohoku area, April is the main season, so I think you can enjoy it during spring break!
But a lot of people will probably come too.
Next is the Kanto area! Tokyo is expected on 3/21.
After that, in the Chubu area: Nagoya is 3/23, Kanazawa is 3/31, and Niigata is 4/5!
You can really see that the timing is slightly different depending on the area.
And then Western Japan! Fukuoka is 3/23, Kochi is 3/24, Hiroshima is 3/25, Osaka is 3/27, and Kagoshima is 3/26.
In the south, it looks like spring will arrive in late March.
But since it’s just a “forecast,” the dates might change a little from here!
So please keep checking the news!
Where would you like to go for Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) this year?
