Japan has its beauty throughout the four seasons, but I absolutely love the season of cherry blossoms. It seems that the best time to see cherry blossoms has ended in Honshu, but in Hokkaido, they say that the cherry blossoms will bloom soon. Which would you prefer, Someiyoshino (single-blossom cherry, Prunus yedoensis) or Yaezakura (Double-blossom cherry)? Although, I like the gorgeous double-blossom cherry, but I prefer the pale pink Someiyoshino cherry blossoms.
It varies depending on region, however, normally Japanese schools hold graduation ceremonies from mid-to-late March when the beautiful cherry blossoms begin to bloom, and entrance ceremonies are held at the beginning of April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
