As spring approaches, a few select places in the world will be graced by the glorious bloom of the cherry blossoms. The tender sakura <\/em>flowers are famously associated with Japan<\/a>, where the annual cherry blossom season is a national treasure and a peak tourist season. The practice of cherry blossom viewing is very important to the Japanese, it even has its own word – hanami<\/em>. People gather for long walks, picnics, or even boat rides at the many viewing spots during sakura season in Japan<\/span>, according to the cherry blossom forecast dates. The custom has some spiritual roots and is considered a time for reflection in the country.<\/p>\n

Away from the Japanese cherry blossom, there are in fact several places around the world where you can enjoy the charm these flowers bring. Korea<\/a> and Taiwan<\/a> are leading destinations with quite a few outstanding cherry blossom viewing spots of their own. China<\/a> also has a few.<\/p>\n

The rare blossoms do make an appearance in a few special places in Europe, USA and Canada too. They’re so pretty we had to pull together pictures of beautiful cherry blossoms around the world!
