[2025 Osaka Cherry Blossom Forecast]
Blooming: March 26
Full Bloom: April 2
Osaka’s cherry blossom forecast is here! Sakura bloom times vary by weather, tree type, and location. Even if peak bloom has passed, hidden spots still showcase stunning flowers.
No matter when you visit, we’ll guide you to secret sakura locations – think of this as a Sakura Hunting Adventure to find the season’s most beautiful blossoms!
We'll walk around Kema Sakuranomiya Park where an uncountable number of sakura – cherry blossom – trees exist. There will be many food stands, and you can buy anything you want to bring to my hanami – an outside sakura viewing party – one of the most popular activities in Japan. We'll enjoy full-blooming sakura trees and the sakura party atmosphere with picnic style.
If the street is open, we'll go to "Sakura Tunnel" where hundreds of different Cherry blossom trees are planted.
The word sakura has many meanings, including the end of the cold winter, a symbol of spring, and the beginning of a new season – as schools and organizations start in April in Japan.
Sakura blooms only one to two weeks, and the best blooming time is only two to three days – and just one rain can ruin it. Sakura is very sensitive and because of its momentary beauty, the full-blooming sakura is even more beautiful and precious. For this reason, the Japanese people love sakura and its connection to the Zen mind.
