Usually, cherry blossoms only bloom for about 10 days or at most two weeks if the weather is ideal. However, you need to keep a close eye on the information as sudden changes in temperature, precipitation and wind can accelerate, delay or shorten the flowering time of the flower.
Cherry blossoms bloom in Japan in an upward direction from Okinawa Island (in mid-January) and end in Hokkaido (around late April or early May)

. So if you have enough time and money, you can make a three-month trip to Japan just to see the cherry blossoms bloom.
