If I work super hard and save up tons of money I would love to go to Japan one day with my family. But if you could only go once in your lifetime would you go in cherry blossom season or fall?
(Obviously not my pictures. Taken from the internet and they look so magical.)

Cherry blossoms all the way!! Good luck, hope you get there some day!

Sakura, hands down. It’s amazing!

Cherry blossom!

definitely Sakura season, I was lucky enough to be there fall to summer and you will never see anything so amazing as Sakura season! BUT, it`s the most expensive time to go.

Cherry blossoms ia a more unique experience in Japan, they have many festivals around this time and they celebrate the season with hanami parties (which are pretty much just picnic under the cheery blossoms) a great family activity! Fall is gorgeous also but you could also find the beautiful change in leaves at other (less expensive and closer) places such as out east

I would suggest fall in Japan, and do a cheaper trip to Washington DC for their cherry blossom festival. They have amazing cherry trees gifted to them by Japan in 1912. They are beautiful!! Japan is the most expensive during cherry blossom time given the huge tourist draw, and the crowds are insane.

Japan is lovely throughout the year. I would avoid July and August as it’s crazy hot and humid. And mid winter as it’s very chilly. So spring or fall. If you plan around cherry blossom and the season is delayed you might be disappointed

Spring since the cheery blossoms is a more unique experience. Other places may have cheery blossoms too but the atmosphere in Japan at that time is one of a kind.

Cherry blossom!!

We were in Japan this past April and the cherry blossoms were amazing; however like everyone here said, it is very expensive time of the year in Japan and very crowded.

Cherry season

When is the cheapest to travel to Japan?

Trev Nich thanks!

I grew up seeing cherry blossoms in Korea..my favourite season is spring for Cherry blossom. It is absolutely beautiful and something you cannot see in Canada. Hands down for Cherry blossoms.

Vancouver has cherry blossoms...

Our Japanese student says that if you don't have hay fever, then cherry blossom season...March is the best time for this. Hopefully you make it someday soon!!
