This video, titled "Until That Day, Let's Do Our Best Together" (その日まで、ともにがんばろう), was released by "Until That Day, Let's Work Together [JR Kyushu]" (その日まで、ともにがんばろう【JR九州】). The video was created by JR Kyushu to support the fight against corona. The novel corona virus (Covid-19) that is sweeping the world today shows no sign of abating in Japan either, and we are forced to live in fear and threat of the virus every day. However, human beings have survived many epidemics in the past. Although the number of cases of new coronaviruses is increasing day by day, the number of critical condition patients and deaths in Japan is very low compared to the rest of the world, so let's do our best to believe that we can return to a safe and secure life again in the near future, as shown in this video.

The Beautiful Snowscapes of Japan This video, titled "4K Beautiful snow scene in Japan 日本の雪景色 TOP14名所 winter scenery snowscapes snow light tourism trip," was produced by Discover Nippon. Japan is a country where you can enjoy the nature of all four seasons. The Japanese archipelago has a unique vertical topography, which means that in winter, the temperature in Hokkaido, located in the north of the country, can drop below 10 degrees Celsius, while in the subtropical region of Okinawa, it's possible to wear a t-shirt year round. In this article, we'll introduce you to some of the most beautiful snowscapes of winter in Japan alongside a beautiful 4K video! Sightseeing in Tokyo on a Snowy Day When people think of snow in Japan, they generally think of the snowy landscapes of Tohoku and Hokkaido; however, several times a year, snow falls in the capital city of Tokyo as well. The snow brings the city to a halt, making the Imperial Palace and Sensoji Temple, with its low traffic (both human and vehicle), a tasteful, hidden tourist destination. Tokyo's snowy scenery, which can only be seen once or twice a year, is a rare sight. However, transportation is tremendously impeded, so please be cautious when collecting information on traffic and weather forecasts. Places to See Japan's Representative Snowscapes If you're looking for beautiful snowscapes in Japan, then we've got just the list for you: ・Akita Prefecture：Igloos ・Gifu Prefecture：Shirakawa, The Northern Alps ・Hokkaido：Otaru Canal, Sapporo Snow Festival ・Yamagata Prefecture：Ginzan Onsen, The Ice Trees of Zao ・Ishikawa Prefecture：Kenroku-en covered in snow Even if you're not in the Tohoku region, you can still enjoy the spectacular snowscapes of the mountains, and even in the Tohoku region, there's not so much snow on the Pacific side. We recommend the hot springs in the mountains and onsen areas on the Sea of Japan side. Active Snowfall Scenery and Sights to Enjoy There are also plenty of places to enjoy winter sports in Japan. Japan is a popular destination for winter sports, having hosted two Winter Olympics to date. Many of the ski resorts where you can snowboard are located near hot spring resorts, so you can relax after a long day of skiing/snowboarding with delicious food and hot springs. If You're Traveling the Snowscapes of Japan, Hot Spring Tourism Is the Way to Go! Here's a list of hot spring resorts with snowy landscapes and winter sports: ・Nagano Prefecture has a great view of the Northern Alps and popular hot springs and ski resorts such as Hakuba. ・Niigata Prefecture is famous for its snow, hot springs and delicious seafood. ・Hokkaido is a paradise of hot springs, where many foreign tourists come to enjoy the large scale resort hotels with ski slopes. After skiing and snowboarding, you can replenish your stamina with Ghengis Khan (Jingisukan), a Japanese lamb dish. ・After skiing, you can enjoy playing in the snow in an igloo and relaxing in hot springs in Akita Prefecture. Kiritanpo hot pot is the specialty in this area! All of these are great places to visit, so find which one suits you best! Hokkaido and Nagano Prefecture are the host cities of the Winter Olympics, so it's safe to say that they're the Meccas of winter sports in Japan. Sightseeing at Temples and Shrines Where You Can Enjoy the Majestic Snowy Scenery Here are some temples and shrines we recommend checking out: ・Yamadera (Yamagata Prefecture)： Yamadera, also known in children's songs, is a famous temple located in Yamagata Prefecture. ・Chuson-ji Temple (Iwate Prefecture): Chuson-ji is a World Heritage Site! The beauty of Konjikido with a snowy landscape is unbeatable. ・Iwakiyama Shrine (Aomori Prefecture): Iwakiyama Shrine, located on Mt. Iwaki, which is often mentioned in songs, is an Important Cultural Property of Japan and is the setting for Sansho the Bailiff. ・Towada Shrine (Aomori, Japan): A historical shrine with a lake with a beautiful emerald green surface. The contrast between the snowy winter landscape and the lake is like a beautiful painting. Summary of the Snowscapes of Japan Winters in snowy countries can be hard in terms of climate, but the beautiful, ink-painting-like world created by the snow that covers Japan's beautiful natural landscape is well worth seeing. Enjoy Japan's snowy landscape in the beautiful 4K video.

Also, it has been registered under the Ramsar Convention since 1980, to protect the important marsh through international cooperation. “Kushiro Marsh Observatory” is a popular spot among Kushiro city’s many sightseeing spots. From this observatory you can see a 360 degree view of Kushiro Marsh's scenery.Experience a spectacular view reminiscent of the Amazon.

You can enjoy another view of “Kushiro Marsh” from the river, which is a vastly different take from the view at the observatory.

Be sure to check out the video to see some of the breathtaking cherry blossoms spots in Tokyo. What is Hanami? An Introduction to Japan's Cherry Blossom Viewing Culture Before we introduce the best cherry blossoms spots in Tokyo, it is important to understand what Hanami is. Hanami (花見, lit. 'Flower viewing'), is the Japanese tradition of viewing the cherry blossoms (or 'sakura' (桜) as they're called in Japanese). Every year during spring in Japan, the cherry blossoms bloom and people flock to parks or other popular spots where they can enjoy relaxing beneath the beautiful flowers with friends while barbecuing, sipping on plum wine, and enjoying other snacks, such as sakura mochi (a cherry blossom leaf wrapped around a pink rice cake with red bean paste at its center), dango (Japanese dumplings), onigiri (rice balls), etc. The origins of hanami can be traced back more than 1,000 years, and was an event originally enjoyed by aristocrats. In addition, rather than cherry blossoms, plum blossoms were the flower of choice. Later, as the event became more of a tradition, cherry blossoms became the flower of choice, and even some famous Japanese warlords were known to host large hanami events. Spring in Tokyo: Weather, Dates, & What to Wear Spring in Japan is from March to May, with southern Japan seeing warmer weather earlier than the northern prefectures. In general, Tokyo sees temperatures around 40-75° F depending on the month. Tokyo also sees a decent amount of rainfall during spring. With this information in mind, we recommend the following: March (~40-60° F/~5-15° C) During March, the weather is still quite chilly as Tokyo has only just left winter. Even if the weather is nice during the day, it can still get quite cold at night and in the morning, so if you are looking to do some early morning exploring or late-night adventuring, it is especially important to bring a warm jacket, gloves, scarves etc., to help you stay warm, but be sure to bring some lighter clothes as well for the occasional sunny days. April (~50-70° F/~10-20° C) April sees slightly warmer weather than March, but just like March, the mornings and evenings can get quite cold. For April, we recommend bringing a slightly lighter jacket but still packing gloves, just in case. May (~55-75° F/~15-24° C) As spring draws to an end, May sees much warmer temperatures, with the average going up to around 65° F (18° C). Mornings and evenings might be a bit chilly, but in general you will be fine with a light jacket and will not require gloves, scarves, etc. Be sure to bring t-shirts and shorts as well to enjoy the warmer weather on sunnier days. As the rain can be unpredictable, we recommend bringing some light rain gear for when it does rain. Japan's rainy season also begins around the end of May/beginning of June as well, so if you are traveling around this time, it is a good idea to have an umbrella handy. Packing one in a suitcase can be a pain, so we recommend purchasing one in Japan. Umbrellas can be purchased at many convenience stores in Japan for just ¥300-500 (~$2-4 USD) as well. When is the cherry blossom in Tokyo in 2024 in full bloom?Explanation of cherry blossom viewing season and forecast of flowering Photo：Cherry blossoms It depends on the climate of the year, but the cherry blossom season in Tokyo usually blooms around the end of March, so if you want to visit a famous cherry blossom spot in Tokyo, why don't you plan it around the end of March? In addition, cherry trees such as the Someiyoshino, one of the most common types of cherry blossoms in Japan, are usually in full bloom from around the end of March to the beginning of April. The flowering date in 2024 is expected to be March 23rd and March 30th, when it will be in full bloom. Cherry blossoms in Tokyo bloom at different times depending on the variety.

Adding Tokyo Cherry Blossoms to Your Itinerary: Enjoy Hanami and Other Tourist Attractions Together Because the goal of travel and sightseeing is to have fun and see new sights, it can be tempting to want to visit as many places as possible. However, trying to fit too many places into an itinerary often leaves people exhausted and even frustrated if they are unable to visit all the places they had in mind. To avoid this, it is important to set aside ample time to enjoy each place you visit. There is no point in trying to hit every cherry blossom spot in Tokyo if you cannot spend the time to enjoy them. Our recommendation to avoid this is to choose cherry blossom spots that place you near tourist attractions that you plan on visiting. For example, a popular spot is the Meguro River Cherry Blossom Promenade which takes walkers close to Shibuya Scramble, Tokyo's famous crosswalk. Another popular hanami spot is Ueno Park, which is located relatively close to Sensoji Temple in Asakusa. Mori Garden, located in Roppongi Hills, is another popular cherry blossom spot in Tokyo which is home to many different shops and cafes, and it is also somewhat close to Tokyo Tower as well. Tokyo Station is a hub in the dead center of all of Tokyo's major attractions, with lines that can take you to take you to pretty much any place in Tokyo with relative ease. If you are not familiar with Tokyo's train system, consider using it as a hub to get from point A to point B. Picking up some snacks and drinks at a convenience store and enjoying hanami under the cherry blossoms at a park is something that can honestly be enjoyed for an entire day, so it is totally fine to spend a few hours doing just that. Just be sure to keep the rules of each spot in mind, as eating and drinking may not be allowed at some locations. Tokyo Cherry Blossom Summary Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is a metropolis of skyscrapers, yet there are still many more cherry blossom spots than what we have introduced here. Two examples are Tokyo Midtown, which has 103 cherry trees, mostly Someiyoshino, and is also lit up, and Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa, which has 210 cherry trees of 17 varieties. If you visit Tokyo in the spring, consider staying the night at this cherry blossom hotel! Cherry blossoms are a springtime tradition in Japan, and there are many great cherry blossom spots where you can take photos for Instagram, etc. in Tokyo. Tokyo is also the only place in the world where you can take pictures of modern buildings and cherry blossoms together! We hope you this list of cherry blossom spots in Tokyo will help you build your itinerary for the 2023 cherry blossom season. You are sure to find something amazing!
