Yamagata is in the northern Tohoku region of Japan and often gets overlooked despite its trove of snow sports, picture-perfect onsen towns, and dramatic religious sites. You could easily spend a week here, jumping from snow monsters to cliffside temples to unusual festivals. ============================ 💡 Need help finding things to do in Tokyo and Japan?

Don’t miss a single petal this spring: here is the first 2025 Japan cherry blossom season forecast. (Remember to swipe.) P.S. We know it is technically still winter — but think of spring. These are the dates for blossoming (not full bloom). Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures should be all fully blossomed-up by end of March/early April in 2025, which is the average. The Japanese archipelago runs on a roughly southwest to northeast axis, therefore the spring warmth — and the cherry blossoms — travel up the country from bottom to top. Please remember that this is just a forecast. Individual trees, different sub-regions, and the weather (wind and rain especially) may affect flowering times. Make sure to follow @tokyocheapo and @japancheapo to keep updated and also check out our article "2025 Cherry Blossom Dates" on tokyocheapo.com — the cherry blossom forecast is updated frequently. #tokyocheapo #cherryblossoms #sakura #japancheapo #tokyonews #japannews ============================ 💡 Need help finding things to do in Tokyo and Japan?

Osaka’s retro vibe is one of the many things that sets it apart from its more polished sibling, Tokyo. Don’t get us wrong — there are still plenty of pockets with ultra-modern or traditional sights to explore, but Osaka is the quintessential city for vintage-culture lovers. ============================ 💡 Need help finding things to do in Tokyo and Japan?

Inside and around Kyoto Station you can find countless good-quality restaurants and bars for a decent price. The easy option for grabbing a bite to eat would be to head up to the top floors of the station’s building and hop into one of the various restaurants there—but with so many options available to you in the area why not try something more special? ============================ 💡 Need help finding things to do in Tokyo and Japan?
