What to expect
In Tokyo, Ueno Park becomes a sea of pink and white as the somei yoshino cherry blossoms reach their peak, creating a picturesque canopy over the bustling pathways.
Best viewing tips
Visit Ueno Park early in the morning to avoid crowds and capture the blossoms in the soft morning light. Bring a picnic to enjoy under the blooming trees. The organiser sets this edition's dates closer to the time — confirm before you travel.
