Is it worth visiting Japan in winter for cherry blossoms?
Hi all,
Thought this might spark an interesting conversation.
Thanks!

No, cherry blossoms typically bloom in late March to early May, so winter won't give you that experience. However, winter has its own magic with fewer crowds, lower prices, and hot spring experiences in the snow. If blossoms are your main goal, plan for late March in Tokyo or early April in Kyoto.
