How Long do Cherry Blossoms Last in Japan 

Ive been in Japan since last thursday. Halfway through my trip now. Walked through Ueno park at night for the illumination, was beautiful. Couple days ago was at Osaka Castle park and Sakuronomiya park and got to see them at all at 100%. Im just very happy and blessed to see them again. My 2nd time to japan viewing the sakura. Still got alot more to see!!!

John, you have given the most complete overview of Cherry blossoms, from beginning to end. There is no reason for anyone coming to Japan to miss seeing Cherry blossoms. I do love watching your rainy-day live vlogs. ❤

Thank you for sharing John! Looking forward to seeing Sakura!

Thanks for sharing 👍 such a nice video

Thanks so much for filling this in the rain. Washington DC just peaked this weekend. Trees from Japan. Beautiful.

Thanks for showing me this beautiful sight as my work will never allow me to take off to Japan and take in these beautiful flowers. Really appreciate it as you’re walking in the rain to share the scenery with me! 👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻

Thank you for sharing all the info on Sakura blooming. I’ve been following your channel to see if I’m going to be able to enjoy these beautiful flowers. It looks like I will miss it since I won’t be in Tokyo until next Monday evening (April 3).😢 At least I’m seeing them through your camera! 😊

itsumo arigatou John san! thanks for taking us along with you !!!! taking notes here!!! looking forward to more John Daub's Japan sightseeing tour!

John, just had a wonderful trip to Japan. It seemed your videos were 1 day ahead of our schedule for our stay in Tokyo. Man Asakusa was busy. Cant wait to return in winter. Take care and thanks again for the the great content

Aloha from Hawaii 🌸 Mahalo (Thank you) for showing the world of this beautiful sight 🌸 of cherry blossoms. Wow, the view is awesome rain or shine! ❤️

10:35 We booked in 2019 and following various changes were due to arrive in Tokyo today. Unfortunately due to further changes we will now arrive next month. We are still hopeful to see some blossom as we are going to the mountains. However even without the blossom we are anticipating an excellent trip. My wife and I have been following your videos since before Covid. We are both grateful to you John as through you we have learned so much about Japan.

🌸🌸🌸thanks again

Beautiful ❤

Beuatiful

カナダから日本の文化を見ることができてとてもうれしいです カンナダ！

I was just there it was raining but still beautiful to see 🌸

we are planning to come to japan around the 13th april- where can we see the sakura?

I hope to catch the sakura in Hirosaki, as I arrive on May 03. The blooming starts on Apr 20, I might just barely make it there.. for last few days

Next year check out Tsuchiura in Ibaraki John, very close to Tokyo and many many sakura along the Sakuragawa

Taking the limousine bus to Narita Airport from Yokohama two days ago there were impressive views of Sakura along the route as we got closer to the airport. I even caught a glimpse from the right side of the bus of a river lined by Sakura about 15 minutes before reaching the airport. It would have been great if the driver could have pulled over for us. Like John said, the most impressive Sakura are on trees that line a river bank and in most cases they will be lined up on both sides of the river. Good luck to anyone headed toward Narita for catching a last glance at the Cherry Blossoms before flying out. If you have your camera ready you might be luckier than I was in catching the dramatic double rows of Sakura lined along both sides of the river near Narita Airport in a photo.

Sad that they bloomed so early this year. Wasnt able to make my trip in late march like usual. Had to wait till April 3rd. Was originally predicted to be a cold winter in japan so i had hopes. 😂

Are you available as a guide between April 6 and 9 in Tokyo? Thank you

What date was this taken?

Our flight from San Jose CA is delayed for 4 hours today. Good thing we always keep our itinerary opened.

Coming this wed to tokyo ,hoping to still catch some😢

John I am planning to go next year, the end of May in Aomori , do yo think we can still see cherry blossom around hirosaki castle ?

I'm in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and the blossoms are spectacular. It is the end of the season but some trees are in full bloom, others shedding petals beautifully.

Hoping we get to see them in Kyoto since we will miss them in Tokyo

Nice to see, but sorry i missed them this year. They do seem to be getting earlier every year now, possibly due to climate change.

So basically, from the updated website evey week for example full bloom 5 April 2023, meaning that we still can find sakura before 12 APRIL 2023? is that correct?

Do you know the reason why so many many cherry trees are planted on the riversides? That started iñ the Edo period. Many people came to see cherry blossoms and walked on the banks of rivers. That makes the banks stiff to prevent flooding.

Washington D.C. is now in full bloom.

Thanks for the last few tours of the blossoms John!!!! 🌸🏃🏼‍♂️👍🏻 Now go home and have a hot shower John!!! 😊

What a romantic person you are! Seems Japan is too somewhat, right?

Did you see that Chris Broad did a cycling tour and raised over $500,000 ??? So great! You should try something like that, instead of asking viewers to donate towards YOUR costs. Maybe that would get you more subscribers. Still not 300k...ouch! Abroad in Japan has nearly 3 million.
