Cherry blossom is three weeks of it. Flip through the other forty-nine — and watch what's in bloom move up and down the country.
The calendar is the way in. Underneath it sits the ordinary thing — search, filter by month or flower, and open any of the 412 spots.

About 850 Kawazu-zakura trees line the Kawazu River, an early, deep-pink cherry that opens a month or more before the usual somei-yoshino, with some 8,000 across the town. The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival runs from early February to early March, with food stalls and evening light-ups.
