Cherry Blossom Tour


OVERVIEW

Visit Japan and see the wonderful cherry blossom blooming whilst taking in some amazing places along the way.  The cherry blossom that paints Japan in pink every April is the most powerful symbol in the nation’s culture. The intimate relationship between natural images and Japan’s philosophy and art is well known and records suggest that the people of Japan have held these pink blooms in high regard right back to the foundation of the country.

If you are looking for a spring tour of Japan, our 2026 Cherry Blossom Tour is the perfect choice. The temples and parks are particularly beautiful during the spring and our Cherry Blossom Tour is timed to ensure you visit when they are at their most resplendent.

The delicate but brightly coloured and short-lived flower has long symbolised the frailty, transience and intensity of life. The flower has inspired countless songs and works of art and its image has adorned everything from fabrics to flags to warplanes to coins to stationery. The association between the cherry blossom and mortality made it an especially potent image in the second world war, when Japan’s rulers suggested that each bloom was the reincarnated soul of a soldier or civilian who had died in the conflict.

It is easy to imagine the emotional impact of the blizzards of pink petals swept from the trees in spring breezes. In today’s Japan, cherry blossom season is an occasion for picnics and parties with friends under the ubiquitous bloom-laden trees, or sightseeing trips with the family, or romantic strolls with a loved one.

The Cherry Blossom Tour captures Japan at its most attractive. It starts in the great capital Tokyo with its many cherry tree-filled parks, takes you to the ancient capital Kyoto and explores Mt. Fuji and Hiroshima too. Dragonfly’s flexible approach to itineraries lets you enjoy both group and independent sightseeing, in order for you to get the most out of your trip in your own way.
