Tokyo in March is one of the busiest times of the year when it comes to international visitors. Winter is officially over and outdoor events will start to increase as the temperature will do as well. Spring is here and with it, all the colorful flowers will start to bloom, welcoming a new season.
Cherry blossoms are the main reason people come to visit Japan during this month, and Tokyo has so many popular spots for these blossom viewings. Hanami is done in various parks across the city, and there are even boat rides you can take to appreciate the Sakura from different perspectives. Events will be held as well with Sakura-themed food and sweets being found in many restaurant cafe menus.
March is also when traditional Japanese events such as Hinamatsuri (ひな祭り) and Shunbun no Hi (春分の日) take place. Hinamatsuri is “Girl’s day” in Japan and it is celebrated on the 3rd. Shunbun no Hi is the “Vernal Equinox Day” in Japan and it is celebrated in Japan on the 21st.
