Japan – A Thousand Shades of Sakura Blossoms

Cherry blossoms in Japan aren’t just pink—they come in a breathtaking spectrum of hues and forms. From the pale blush of somei yoshino to the rich rose of yaezakura and the ghostly white of shidarezakura, each variety blooms in its own rhythm across different regions and elevations. This ever-changing wave of color sweeps the country from south to north, making every hanami experience unique. In Japan, no two springs—or two trees—are ever the same. #cherryblossom25
