When do the cherry blossoms bloom?
The cherry blossom is in full bloom at a slightly different time every year, and it is quite different depending on the region, but in the suburbs of Tokyo, it is often in full bloom from late March to early April, and even later in the northern region and earlier in the southern region (in Okinawa it is from late January to early February).
