Tokyo on the pacific ocean side of Japan has been getting the heavy snow fall update from cities on the Japanese sea side, and Tokyo has been very dry and sunshinefull days recently. In early February, we have the forecast of cherry blossom timing, although Tokyo has cold winter days. It’s telling us spring days are coming. In Atami city, the Atami Umezono Plum Festival (2025) has started, and Mito Plum Festival has just started on February 11th. For your convenience, the nearest train station, Kairakuen Temporary Station, are open on weekend and holiday only until March 29th.
The Cherry Blossom forecasts are available on TV and internet, and they are updated very frequently. Sakura Navi is the one of the internet site which tells you the forecast in each prefecture and each cherry blossom spots.
It would be nice to explore in the park, temple and shrine under cherry blossoms, and also nice to drive on the street covered with cherry blossom. In either ways, it’s good timing for you to make your plan of outing in cherry blossom seasons.
