Japan Weather Association announced Cherry Blossom Bloom and Full Bloom Forecasts for 2023

Introduction

Spring in Japan is said to have “three cold and four warm days”.

This means that three cold days are followed by four warm days. In other words, it means that after a cold winter, cold and warm days gradually alternate with each other, and then the weather warms up and spring arrives.

This is the time of year when nature’s activities in the forests and mountains become more active, starting with the blooming of the plum blossoms, followed by the gradual appearance of various flowers, the blooming of cherry blossoms, and the budding of new leaves.
