First trip to Japan

Tangeraas wrote: I just need to figure out exactly when the cherry blossoming is -that's the biggest problem in planning the dates for my round-the-world ticket, but then again I can change the departure/arrival dates if I like, without any additional fee. Some friends we made in Tokyo were adamant that we make our next trip in the spring for the cherry blossums. I have a job that really hammers me the first week of each month. So I was discussing the middle two weeks of either April or May. My host continually came back to the point that the best opportunities would be had in the last week of April and the first week of May. Of course I don't intend to spend all those two weeks in Tokyo, so I'm still at a disadvantage. As others have pointed out, they don't arrive by the clock. But a Japanese guy was adamant that I had to be there those two weeks. -- ///--- |

Maybe there was a misunderstanding somewhere along the way, but the peak cherry blossom season in Tokyo is usually the last week in March and first week in April. By late-April, it will be just leaves. -- Dave Fossett Saitama, Japan http://jtrains.fotopic.net/ |

And of course, the cherry blossom season varies according to location (i.e. latitude). I'm not too sure, but it could be as much as one month earlier in the far south of Japan, and a month later in the north. -- Dave Fossett Saitama, Japan |
