Spring, the best time to travel to Japan.
The flowering of cherry trees in Japan, known as Sakura, usually occurs between late March and early April. This event varies according to the region and climatic conditions of each year. Flowering begins in the south, in places like Okinawa, and progresses northwards, reaching Hokkaido later.
The cherry blossom—벚꽃 (Beotkkot)—is the flower of February and a symbol of renewal and fleeting beauty.
The origins and history of cherry blossoms in Korea are controversial. Some say the Japanese planted the trees, while others argue that they were already present in the country and valued as a useful material long before the Japanese arrived.
