Cherry blossom season varies from region to region. Even within the same prefecture, coastal areas and mountainous areas have different seasons, so we recommend that you check ryokan 's official website when making a reservation, rather than thinking that "the cherry blossom season is about this time." Even if the cherry blossoms aren't in full bloom, spending a relaxing time at ryokan in the spring sunshine is very relaxing. Please enjoy a wonderful spring trip with him.
