Spring (Cherry Blossoms)
Cherry blossoms are Japan’s symbol of spring. From March to May, Japan is adorned with pink cherry blossoms. Their fleeting full bloom, followed by petals drifting away on the wind, is often likened to the transient nature of life—a vision that leaves many international visitors deeply moved, drawing them back to Japan time and again.
Unlike most flowers that bloom upward, cherry blossoms hang downward, giving rise to the uniquely Japanese custom of hanami (flower viewing under the trees) and the nighttime spectacle of yozakura (illuminated cherry blossoms). These experiences provide a unique, immersive way for visitors to feel and appreciate the beauty of Japanese spring, known worldwide as a particularly special season. We offer comprehensive hanami arrangements for providing an authentic encounter with the country’s traditions that mark the beginning of spring.
