Cherry blossom timing shifts slightly year to year, but for most mainland Japan, late March to midappril is pig sakura in Tokyo, Coyoto, and Osaka. Northern and higher places like Hokkaido, high mountains bloom later. For families, book flights and hotels early. Schools and weekends feel fast. Ready to see how a family can spend those perfect cherry blossom days. Let’s dive into the itineraries. Day one. On the first day of the tour, we landed in Tokyo, collected our JR pass vouchers, and took the airport train to central Tokyo. Here I would like to mention that there are direct flights available from major Indian cities to Japan which takes around 7 to 8 hours. Indian travelers need an e visa to enter Japan that can be applied through VFS Global. After checking in, a gentle starter walk around Yono Park felt perfect. Families with kids flying and long lines of cherry trees were already showing pale pink birds. Yueno Park was created in the 19th century and became one of Tokyo’s first public parks. It’s famous for hanami picnics and family outings. Here you can see Yono Zoo, Tokyo National Museum and the main cherry tree prominent. UNO is 15 to 25 minutes from central Tokyo by metro. The entry to the park is free while the zoo and museum require tickets to enter. Day two, we began the second day with Senoji Temple in Asakusa. Senoji is Tokyo’s oldest temple. Dates to 645 AD. Here we enjoyed the Ricksha rides outside and the colorful Nakamisha shopping street. Nakamisha is a centuries old shopping street that grew around the temple. In the afternoon, we went to Tokyo Skytree for city views. Then we went to Shibuya for the famous scramble crossing and a family dinner. Sumida Park along the Sumida River near Asakusa is lined with Sakura and great for evening strolls. For transport, you may a metro which is available between these spots. Day three. On the third day, we took a guided family busuit to Hakone and Tafuji five legs area at Lake Quaguchi. You can see cherry blossoms with Mount Fuji in the background, an iconic frame. Mount Fuji has been a spiritual symbol of Japan for centuries appearing in art and pilgrimages. We did a short cruise on Lake Ashi, then rode the Hakone ropeway over steaming Wakuani Valley. Hakon’s hot springs have welcomed travelers since Edo times. The entire day tour is of 10 to 12 hours from Tokyo by bus or train. Day four. On the fourth day, we boarded the Shinkansen to Hiroshima which took approximately 4 hours from Tokyo with JR bus. Upon reaching, we took a short ferry to Miaima Island. Miaima has been sacred for centuries. Miaima Shukushima Shrine, a classic Shinto site with its floating tory gate, is atmospheric in bloom season. Back on the mainland, a visit to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum, which memorizes 1945 events and teaches peace. The main attraction at the Peace Park is the atomic bomb dome, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Day five.

In the afternoon, we wandered Gon, the historic Geisha district. Next, we went to Yasaka Shrine, where lantern streets and early cherry trees create a fairy tale evening. Day six. This day we began at Kiomizu Dera. Stunning wooden stage with city or flower views. Kiomizu is a UNESCO site dating to the 8th century. Here we saw the Ottoa waterfall. Next we explored the golden king Kaoji Temple. Then we enjoyed the Philosophers’s Path, a gentle canal walk lined with cherry trees ideal for kids to run and snap photos. Philosophers’s path became famous as a study walk for scholars. In the afternoon, we went to Arashyama Bamboo Grove. Arashyama Bamboo Grove dates back to Japan Sahan period when nobles built villas here for its serene beauty. The whispering bamboo forest was once part of temple lands and symbolizes peace and strength in Japanese culture. Next, we went to the Tendriuji Temple. Tendruji temple founded in 1339 by Shogun Ashikaga Takawji is Coyoto’s first Zen temple and a UNESCO world heritage site famous for its landscape soni garden designed to reflect zen harmony with nature.

Then we took the short train to N for around 45 minutes. Here we visited N Park where cherry trees and friendly deer make for 1 to two hours of family fun. N was Japan’s first permanent capital. reach in ancient Buddhist sites. After completing our Nara park tour, we boarded a train to Osaka which took around 45 minutes to reach the destination.

Then took a short visit to Tokyo Shinjuku Gon spectacular for blossoms. Retain. On the 10th day, we pack memories, buy last chocolate boxes, and head to the airport. Now, if you have 8 days in hand, skip Hiroshima or Miaima. Saves travel time and keep space familyfriendly. For a 7-day tour, visit Tokyo for 2 days focusing Yueno and Skytree. Then take Mount Fuji or Hakon day trip. Next, visit Coyoto, Kyomizu and Arashyama. And finally, Osaka Doon Buri and Aquarium. But once you have decided your itinerary, the next question is where should you stay for the best experience? Let’s look at the accommodation options for families. We picked practical neighborhoods. In Tokyo, stay at Uno or Asakusa for easy park or metro access. At Coyoto, stay near Gon walkable to temples. At Osaka, Namba or Shinshaiashi is ideal location for food and shops. Family rooms, apartments or royokans work well. Book early for Shakura. Hotels sell out fast. For online booking links, please check the description box below.
