Enjoy the spring scenery in Gifu!
As we continue to experience the depths of winter, it is never too early to begin preparations for the upcoming season. We want to share some valuable information that will assist you in determining the optimal time to witness the stunning cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Gifu is renowned for having one of the longest cherry blossom blooming periods in the nation, attributed to the varying elevations across its regions. In the southern areas, the cherry blossom trees typically bloom from late March to early April, while those in the mountainous northern regions tend to bloom from mid- to late April, occasionally extending into early May.
No matter where you find yourself in Gifu, you can eagerly anticipate an abundance of cherry blossoms during your spring visit.
To aid in your future planning, we have compiled a selection of resources, including photographs showcasing some of the finest cherry blossom viewing locations in Gifu. Featuring daily updates on cherry blossom conditions and projected dates of full bloom, these websites are in Japanese but viewable with built in Google Translate feature which is still useful despite some slight mistranslations of place names.
