Experience the cherry blossom obsession in Japan throughout springtime on a cruise. In Japanese, the cherry blossom is Sakura.  The Cherry blossom usually blooms between mid-March and early May in Japan. So this amazing Japan cruise tour is available in every year.  In 2026, cherry blossoms are expected to open around March 15 in Tokyo and April 2 in Kyoto. If you have sufficient time to sail, it's recommended to remain for around 10-14 days to make sure of catching the cherry blooms at their peak. The best cruises are those departing in mid-March. 

It is important to note that typhoons are frequent in Japan in summer and autumn, so it is a great idea to cruise in spring. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the spring and many tourists in Japan, it is not easy to book a hotel on land. It is an excellent opportunity to take a cruise at this time.
