This year's Japanese cherry blossom season has not changed much compared to previous years, the blooming time falls around the end of March to the end of April. Since the end of February, the Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a forecast for the cherry blossom season in each region.
However, the blooming of flowers will be greatly affected by the weather in March, visitors planning to travel to Japan to see the flowers should closely monitor it. For example, last year, the beginning of spring was colder, so the flowers bloomed a few weeks later.
