Happens every year
What to expect
The lush yaezakura blossoms create a vibrant pink canopy, contrasting with the gentle rustle of deer moving through the park. The air is filled with the soft scent of cherry blossoms and the occasional call of deer.
Best viewing tips
Visit in the late afternoon when the light is softer for photography. The area near the Kasuga-taisha Shrine offers a picturesque backdrop with both deer and blossoms in view. The organiser sets this edition's dates closer to the time — confirm before you travel.
