a few trees are already in full bloom!

these are kawazu sakura (an early blooming variety from izu region) in kyoto...

planning my trip around 21 Mar 2018 ... given this date, which location has better chance of seeing Sakura ... Tokyo/ Hakone / Fuji areas or Osaka / Kyoto areas ?

Planning self-drive 7-10 day trip.

Now deciding whether to fly into Osaka or Tokyo.

TIA

looks like the earliest places in japan mainland to have sakura blooms are in nagasaki, kochi in shikoku and then perhaps tokyo itself...

I went to Matsuda (in Kanagawa prefecture, not too far from Odawara) on 22 Feb 2017 to see sakura and the sakura there were already past full bloom.

And yes, it was kawazu sakura (the early blooming type of sakura trees)

those coming to japan for hanami should take note that the cold weather is pushing the dates later....

this if for kanto. as you see in the vid, some varieties of sakura is already blossoming in shinjuku gyoen

Was in ueno last week. The two big trees at the front of the park has bloomed. The wall down the park was not fantastic yet . Mostly still botak.
