Japan off the beaten track during Hanami 2025 4K

Our trip with Dutch Touroperator Koning Aap in Japan during Hanami. We travelled from Kagoshima to Sapporo.
Hanami is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers; flowers in this case almost always mean those of the cherry or, less frequently, plum trees. From the end of March to early May, cherry trees bloom all over Japan. The blossom forecast “cherry blossom front” is announced each year by the Japan Meteorological Agency and watched carefully by those planning hanami, as the blossoms only last a week or two.
