Mid April Hanami Sakura Itinerary

Hi everyone!

Below is a very rough itinerary i have:

12 apr to 14: Tokyo
15 to 16: Kawaguchiko
17 to 18: Matsumoto
19: Kurobe alpine
20: Takayama
21 to 22: shirakawago
23: nagoya
24: tokyo
25: fly home

For your comments pls

Have you looked at the predicted sakura dates? You're outside the major flowering season by about two weeks. Consider going north if your intention is to see sakura.

A few of the colder locations should be okay. But will probably be well past peak for Tokyo and Kyoto. Falling petals by then.

Thanks everyone. I thot that matsumoto and kawaguchiko is likely to bloom in mid apr as the estimates are still not available in Japan guide website.

Does nagano and niigata have a chance? Or should i jus aim for Tohuku areas?

Thanks

Hello Arcaninx,

I doubt Nagano would have a chance for your week.
I was at Nagano area last year and if the prediction dates are the same for whole of Japan this year, the chances of seeing sakura will be first week of April..

U might want to consider tohuku area..
