📝 About Hanami 2027
Hanami is the centuries-old Japanese tradition of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms, known as sakura, which typically bloom from late March through mid-April depending on the region. Friends, families, and coworkers gather beneath the flowering trees in parks and along riverbanks for picnics featuring bento boxes, sake, and seasonal sweets. The custom dates back to the Nara period over 1,200 years ago, when it originally celebrated plum blossoms before shifting to cherry blossoms during the Heian era. The Japan Meteorological Corporation issues annual cherry blossom forecasts that are followed with great anticipation, and iconic viewing spots like Ueno Park in Tokyo and the Philosopher's Path in Kyoto draw millions of visitors each spring.
