What Kind Of Sakura Is Going To Be In Full Bloom Next?

If you missed the timing of full blooming Someiyoshino, the major kind of Sakura (cherry blossoms) in Tokyo area, please don't worry! Even after Someiyoshino has fallen, we can still enjoy Sakura and Hanami (seasonal flowers viewing)!

If you go to the north part of Japan, Someiyoshino is going to bloom now since Japanese islands spread vertically south to north. People can travel with the same kind of Sakura blooming gradually from south to north. 


Or even if you stay in one area, still you can enjoy various kinds of Sakura blooming between March and April. One of the common late blooming type is called "Yae-Zakura", which is a double-petals. It is going to bloom now. The Japanese name means "Eight-layered Sakura" and as you can see in the photo above, it really has much more than double petals and eight times or more pieces of petals!
