Cherry blossoms (sakura) are predicted to start blooming in Hiroshima and the Kansai region around March 22 2024, and reach their peak around March 30 2024.
Petals typically fall within about 1 week of the full bloom unless the weather causes them to drop earlier.
For more information, see our complete Cherry Blossom Predictions 2024 guide.
