Japan in full
blossom.

For two weeks each spring, Japan transforms. The cherry blossom front moves northward across the country — and those who understand it, and position themselves correctly, witness something that changes how they think about beauty.

The moments that
define spring Japan.

These are not things you stumble upon. They are things you plan for — with the right knowledge, the right timing, and the right introductions. We have all three.

01
Hanami at Maruyama Park — the weeping cherry at full bloom
The giant weeping cherry at Maruyama Park peaks for approximately five days a year. We track the forecast from September. We position our departures around it.
02
Philosopher's Path — the canal lined with Somei Yoshino in full bloom
Two kilometres of cherry trees alongside a Kyoto canal. Experienced at 6am, before the crowds arrive, it is one of the most beautiful walks available anywhere in the world.
03
Nara's cherry trees against a backdrop of ancient deer
Nara's 1,200 deer share the park with thousand-year-old temples and hundreds of cherry trees. In late March the combination is almost surreal.
04
Hokkaidō's late blossom — sakura against snow-capped peaks
Hokkaidō blooms two to three weeks after Kyoto. The combination of cherry blossom and remaining snow on the distant mountains is found nowhere else in Japan.

“We have travelled to over forty countries. Nothing — nothing — prepared us for Kyoto in full blossom. We have already booked for autumn.”
