General Japan Sakura report 2024

Update 2024-03-20

It became slightly colder again which means hanami might take a few more days. I checked Amagajo in Takaoka on the 18th and no flowers were out yet. However Ippon Sakura in Kunitomi is in full bloom. Parks in Miyakonojo have started to open.

How to do Hanami

    in Miyazaki full bloom is usually on April 1st, but it seems earlier this year.
  2. Find a spot you like and get some friends together
  3. Get a sheet to sit down.
  4. Have a picnic party under trees and enjoy life!
