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.
Blooms of Japan is a free guide to where and when flowers bloom in Japan. You are welcome to use it for planning a trip.
Every peak time on this site is a typical window, not a forecast. Flowering shifts by a week or more with each year’s weather, and a single warm spell can move it. Opening hours and admission prices change too. Check the official site for a place before travelling to it. The site is offered as it is, without any warranty, and cannot be held responsible for a wasted journey.
Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons and are used under their individual licences, which are Creative Commons or public domain. The photographer and licence are named beneath the photographs on every spot page. Those credits belong to the photographers, not to this site, and each photograph remains theirs under its own licence.
The written descriptions, the calendar and the maps are the work of this site. Quote a sentence with a link if it is useful to you; please do not republish the whole collection.
If a price, a bloom window or a photo credit here is wrong, or a photograph is yours and you would like it removed, write to hello@bloomsofjapan.com and it will be put right.
