StartingPeakFinishedLiveForecast

Cities without a Live or Forecast chip are showing the typical window from past years. The actual forecast overwrites it as the season approaches.

Adventure+ unlocks every city, not just the free ten, gets you emailed when a phenomenon window opens, and builds the bloom straight into your saved trip.

Common questions

  • How accurate is this?

    Close to a season we use the live front for each city, refining the forecast week by week. Months out, we show typical timing from past years and label it clearly, so you always know whether it's a live report, a forecast, or a historical average.

  • I'm visiting in mid-April: will the blossoms still be out?

    Pick cherry blossom and add your dates. We'll show whether each city is starting, in full bloom, or finished for your trip. Right after a season we keep showing this year's actual result, not the long-run average.

  • Is it free?

    Yes. The forecast itself is free for everyone, with the curated 10 major cities. Email alerts are also free once you're signed in. Adventure+ unlocks the long tail (every city we cover, ~25) and builds the bloom straight into your saved trip.

  • How far ahead can I look?

    Add arrival dates up to about a year out and we'll resolve a historical-tier window from past seasons. As the year's forecast publishes, the tier upgrades automatically.

  • Can I plan around it?

    On Adventure+, yes. We'll add the best seasonal spots to your trip automatically and flag them on your day view.
