sakura (Page 13)
One of the first glimmers of spring is the appearance of this seasonal beverage that uses real cherry blossom petals and leaves.
Specially cultivated to bloom after they arrive at your home, these trees will provide sakura memories for years to come.
The renowned Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival has now joined the long list of events to be cancelled this year due to the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.
Cherry blossom plans cancelled? Here’s a new one: doing hanami at home with these beautiful photos.
Surprise snowfall in Japan transformed springtime hanami into a winter wonderland on the weekend.
A subdued sakura season is a sad turn of events for Japan, but free pizza always puts a smile on people’s faces.
Questions about complacency are being raised as people gather at popular sakura spots in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
If your Japan travel plans fell through due to coronavirus, or you’re here but stuck inside, these gorgeous videos are the next best hanami option.
