Although there are many countries that have cherry blossoms, such as Europe, the U.S. and China, it seems that people value and have a kind of longing for the Japanese cherry blossoms, including the history, customs and ways of enjoying the blossoms. They are also highly interested in "Hanami," a unique Japanese culture.
However, it is difficult to take a long vacation to Japan at this time of year when it is not a school holiday, and even if you can, many people return home without being able to appreciate the cherry blossoms due to the weather.
