What makes it special
About Sekai-ichi no Sakura Namiki (World's Greatest Cherry Blossom Avenue)
- Check the Bloom Status Before Visiting: Because the blooming order depends on altitude, the 'peak' varies by location. We highly recommend checking the latest cherry blossom reports online before your trip.
- Enjoy Both Driving and Walking: Don't just stay in the car! Walking the designated paths allows you to feel the true scale and beauty of the cherry blossoms up close.
- Prepare for Temperature Changes: Since the season is late April to early May and involves elevation changes, bring clothing that is easy to layer to stay comfortable.
