Spring and Autumn are the two most pleasant seasons in Japan. This is the time when one can feel the breath of life and see the symbol of early Spring, the cherry blossoms. Spring is the time for "Hanami", cherry blossom viewing events which are held in many different locations all over Japan. The best time to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo is usually from the end of March to the beginning of April. However, one should be aware that the temperature swings greatly, so one day maybe hot and the next day you may shiver from the cold.
