2016 Cherry Blossom Forecast
As a result of above-average temperatures over the past few weeks, the cherry blossoms have started opening several days earlier than average. Fukuoka was the first city to report the start of the season on March 19 and has since been followed by many of Japan's major cities, including Tokyo on March 21 and Osaka and Kyoto on March 23.
