The cherry blossom season is relatively short. Full bloom (mankai) is usually reached within about one week after the opening of the

first blossoms (kaika).

Another week later, the blooming peak is over and the blossoms are falling from the

trees. Strong wind and rain can cut the blooming season even shorter

Hanami literally means "flower viewing", however, it commonly refers only to

cherry blossom viewing. Cherry blossom viewing is easy:

Simply enjoy the intensity of the many blossoms by looking at a single tree or a group of trees.

From a distance, the trees appear as beautiful clouds, while the beauty of single blossoms can be enjoyed from a close distance.
