The month of March marks one of the biggest travel months in Asia, because it’s when the streets and parks in countries like Japan and Korea are lined with beautiful, blooming cherry blossoms. With the season only lasting until April, it’s important that you and your travel buddies plan ahead to make unforgettable memories together.

If you need help deciding where to spend cherry blossom season, read on to learn more about Asia’s top sakura destinations!

Blossom unforgettable memories in Japan and Korea

Japan is renowned as the ultimate cherry blossom season destination, with so many cities offering different activities, but one of the most iconic experiences is taking a day tour of the city of Hakone, and the UNESCO World Heritage site and highest mountain in all of Japan: Mount Fuji.

Hakone is a few kilometers away from Mount Fuji that boasts of beautiful flora, a perfect city to go to for stunning views of the mountain, especially when the sakura trees are in full bloom. Tours offer you a comfortable, air-conditioned bus ride to Mount Fuji and Hakone and have exciting scenic experiences, such as the Hakone Ropeway cable car ride and a stunning yet serene cruise in Lake Ashi. If you want gorgeous selfies with both Mount Fuji and the cherry blossoms as your backdrop, this is the perfect travel experience for you!

Are you looking for a more thrilling spring attraction, why not zoom through the streets of Osaka in a go-kart? As adventurous as it is, you’ll definitely have a one-of-a-kind experience of enjoying the cherry blossoms at high speeds! For an hour (or longer!), you will have the chance to dress up as your favorite character while driving at the speed of 60 kilometers per hour, passing by historical sights and tourist spots such as Namba, Dotonbori, Osaka tower, and more. Don’t be camera shy, as the tourists will take photos of the sakura blossoms, and you too!

If you want to experience the cherry blossoms outside of Japan, consider booking a day tour to the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival in South Korea, also known as “Jinhae Gunhangjae”. The festival is a perfect way to experience both the beautiful cherry blossoms while immersing yourself in Korean culture, with various cultural and military performances happening throughout the festival. During the tour, you will be able to visit the Gyeonghwa Station Park. The station is no longer operational, but has trains displayed on its tracks that cut through stunning cherry blossom trees. After touring the park, you can enjoy a beautiful lunch at Yeojwacheon Stream – one of the most well-known areas in the country to view the beautiful blooms. The stream is idyllic and tranquil, with cherry blossom trees lined on its sides.

Soak up summer adventures Not everyone’s got cherry blossoms or spring adventures on their travel list, but opt to have summer fun at other destinations in Asia.

For international summer trips, countries like Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam are great choices. Beat the heat by snorkeling and island hopping in Penghu, Taiwan, a very popular activity in the area, known for its lavender and rose corals. If you want something more family-friendly, why not go on a trip to Andamanda Phuket Waterpark in Thailand? The waterpark is filled with rides and attractions, and also showcases gorgeous Thai architecture, a perfect attraction for both kids and adults. If you’re a big foodie, take cooking classes in Hanoi, Vietnam – some even have a local market tour where you can buy ingredients for the dishes you’ll be cooking!
