This year 2023, Shiba-Zakura(芝桜)at Hitsujiyama Park started to open up earlier. It is now already peak period and the best timing to visit and see the Moss phlox!
Late Cherry Blossoms, but earlier this year
Normally Japan cherry blossoms open up from the end of March to the middle of April, but this Shiza-Zakura starts to blossom from the middle of April to the beginning of May.
However, this year 2023, the Shiza-Zakura also started to open up earlier than we had expected so NOW it is the best timing to see and the most beautiful scenes.
It is said this best view timing will end by this April for this year.
