Japan is dubbed the “land of cherry blossoms”. Travel to Japan in March right in the spring time, cherry blossom season, plum blossom festival season. March Japan begins to warm, except for the northern part of Hokkaido that is still quite cold and snowy. The beginning of the month is the plum blossoms, and the early cherry blossoms of Kawazu-Zakura, and at the end of the month cherry blossoms bloom throughout Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. This is the best time to travel to enjoy cherry blossoms, to welcome Japanese spring. Here are the main festivals in March
