The Falstaff Travel Editors, 24.03.2026

The cherry blossom season has begun. While the first places in Japan have to give way to the rush of visitors, the pink-colored natural spectacle can also be experienced at many other - closer - destinations. Falstaff TRAVEL shows you where to find the best spots.

The Japanese eagerly await the time of sakura, the cherry blossom, and the opportunity to enjoy hanami - the viewing of the blossom. The first buds are already turning into full blooms in these early days of spring, not only in Japan, but also in many places in Europe. Falstaff TRAVEL went in search of clues.
