NAVITIME Japan, a Japanese navigation app provider, announced the most popular cherry blossom spots for international visitors by region in this spring (March 1 to May 31 2025), based on data from the navigation app for international visitors ‘Japan Travel by NAVITIME.’

Ueno Park said, “The park provided volunteer interpreter guides for international visitors to let them enjoy cherry blossom. About 4,500 visitors used the guide tours.” Ritsurin Garden was popular among visitors from Taiwan, Korea and China particularly because of good access from Takamatsu Airport.
