Cherry blossom season in Japan, known as sakura season, is a breathtaking time when the country transforms with delicate pink and white blooms. Typically occurring from late March to early April, this season symbolizes renewal and fleeting beauty. Parks and temples across Japan, from Tokyo’s Ueno Park to Kyoto’s Philosopher’s Path, fill with visitors enjoying hanami (flower viewing) picnics. The stunning contrast of cherry blossoms against historic castles and modern cityscapes makes it a truly magical experience.

Okunoshima, also known as Rabbit Island, is a small yet fascinating destination off the coast of Hiroshima. Once a secret site for wartime chemical weapon production, it has since transformed into a peaceful haven, famous for its hundreds of friendly, free-roaming rabbits. Visitors can explore the island’s scenic walking trails, relax by the quiet beaches, and visit the Poison Gas Museum to learn about its unique history. The island also offers cycling paths, stunning ocean views, and a small hotel with an onsen for those who want to stay overnight. A visit to Okunoshima provides a perfect mix of history, nature, and an unforgettable encounter with its adorable furry residents.
