Missed the early cherry blossoms? You're in luck! The yaezakura, or multi-layered cherry blossoms, bloom in Tokyo from mid- to late April, offering a second chance to enjoy the season.

If you're visiting Tokyo in late April, you can still experience the beauty of cherry blossoms. The yaezakura variety, known for its many petals and vibrant colors, blooms later than the popular Somei-yoshino. This means you have an extended opportunity to witness these stunning flowers.

Yaezakura, meaning "multi-layered cherry blossom," features blossoms with more than five petals. These late bloomers showcase a range of pink hues, from delicate light shades to rich, dark tones. They typically start blooming in mid- to late April, providing a beautiful spectacle.

Explore parks and gardens in and around Tokyo to discover these floral treasures. Enjoy the unique beauty of the yaezakura and extend your cherry blossom season experience.
