Sakura season is on: 3 destinations to visit where cherry blossoms are in full bloom
MANILA, Philippines — Cherry blossoms, also known as sakura in Japan, are breathtakingly beautiful when in full bloom.
These ultimate symbol of springtime only blooms at this time of the year, the peak of which is between March and April. Cherry blossoms paint Asian countries such as Japan, Taiwan and South Korea pink, and crowds chase this pink season, which Klook says is not just for the beautiful photos they bring but also for all the other fun and exciting things one can do while chasing cherry blossoms.
