Hong Kong (China)

The area surrounding Chek Lap Kok Airport is a particularly beautiful cherry blossom spot. This year, the blossoms have been in bloom since mid-February. According to Time Out, this year's cherry blossom garden has been expanded into a "cherry blossom bay" with over 100 trees. The blossoms will bloom in two distinct waves, one currently in full bloom, and the second expected to be in full bloom in the latter half of March.

The cherry blossom garden here is open from 8 AM to 8 PM every day. On Fridays and Saturdays, it stays open until 10 PM. If visitors are busy during the day, they can arrange to experience the "cherry blossom night" from 5 PM onwards.

Japan

This year's cherry blossom season in Japan is not much different from previous years, with the blooming period falling between late March and late April. From the end of February, the Japan Meteorological Agency has been releasing cherry blossom forecasts for each region.

However, the blooming of the flowers will be greatly affected by the weather in March, so tourists planning a trip to Japan to see the flowers should monitor the situation closely. For example, last year, the early spring was colder, causing the flowers to bloom several weeks later.

For detailed flower season forecasts, please refer to the map below.

Korea

The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) has announced the expected cherry blossom blooming period this year, from March 20th to April 10th. While the blooming time varies by region, cherry blossoms typically bloom for two weeks, from the time they first appear until they fade.

Jeju, Busan, Yeosu, and Ulsan are among the places where cherry blossoms bloom earliest. Meanwhile, Chuncheon and Gwangju will be the last places for visitors to see cherry blossoms in bloom. Overall, the best time to enjoy the cherry blossom season while exploring Korean culture is in late March and early April.
