Description:  Japan

Shakura, meaning "cherry blossom" in Japanese, is a breathtaking natural phenomenon that captivates visitors in Japan.

Japan's spring season is eagerly awaited by locals and tourists alike, as it marks the blooming of shakura trees, painting the landscapes with vibrant shades of pink and white.  The annual Hanami festivals in Japan celebrate the beauty of shakura, with people gathering under the trees to appreciate the blossoms, picnic, and enjoy traditional performances.

Shakura is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture and symbolizes the transient nature of life, as the blossoms only last for a short period before falling gracefully to the ground.

From Tokyo's Ueno Park to Kyoto's Philosopher's Path, numerous locations across Japan offer breathtaking shakura viewing spots, attracting millions of visitors each year.
