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 1,000 cherry trees, somei-yoshino and mountain cherry, around the great wooden stage on the hillside of Higashiyama. In late March and early April the temple opens for a special evening visit with the trees lit up.
