Tohoku: Where Japan’s cherry blossoms linger longer

Saturday, 06 Sep, 2023 0

Japan cherry blossom travel options just expanded for Audley Travel guests.

The operator has reintroduced the Tohoku region, available to book now for 2024 and beyond.

Located in the rural northern region of the mainland, the iconic flowers bloom into April, later than the Golden Route season.

Tohoku’s mountainous terrain make Tohoku’s major gateways must-visit destinations.

Kakunodate is a town known for its samurai history while Hirosaki is home to Hirosaki Castle park, one of the finest cherry blossom spots in the country.

Each of the locations offered are connected by train and air travel.

David Peat, Senior Product Executive at Audley Travel said, “By heading north to Tohoku, the Japan cherry blossom period is expanded to explore more.”

“It is this type of destination knowledge that helps clients of Audley make the most of the time they have on their trip.”

Audley Travel’s experts recommend traveling to Sendai/Matsushima, Kakunodate and Hirosaki between April and November, with the late summer months of August/September offering a cooler climate.

There is the chance to visit spectacular summer festivals such as Aomori Nebuta.

Audley has a 14-day tailor-made trip to Japan, including time in Tohoku as well as Kyoto, Kanazawa and Tokyo from £9,300 per person (based on two sharing).

It includes flights, transfers, accommodation and excursions.
