Japan Cherry Blossom (Sakura)

The cherry blossom (sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and holds a very prominent position in Japanese culture.

There are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a couple of days in spring. The Japanese celebrate that time of the year with hanami parties under the blooming trees. When do the cherry blossoms bloom? They bloom from January to May. It is depends on the city. If you have time, go to Japan and see Cherry blossoms.






If I have money and time, I would like to go to Japan.
