Think you know your 'ume' from your 'sakura'?

Every spring, Toyama Prefecture's cherry trees come to full bloom, and a few places are popular nationwide. We have three fabulous viewing spots to share with you!

If you want ideas besides picnics for your cherry blossom viewing, how about walking along the river? You'll definitely appreciate the beauty of sakura from another angle!

These five sites will make sure you don’t miss a beat as the leaves change color from north to south across the country!

Through the heavy Akita snowfall, a train with one or two cars makes its way across bridges that span deep valleys and through tunnels that burrow into the heart of the mountains of the region.

We wish our own high schools had sent us off into the adult world with these spectacular sand creations!

If you're dying to board this love train, don't wait to schedule a date with your Valentine, because this event ends March 13!

March 3 is a special day in Japan: it's the day of the Hina Matsuri, or Girls' Festival. On this day, girls are celebrated and families pray for their health and prosperity.
