Rakuten Travel Super Sale 2023 Spring Travel, Now Open!

Spring is the most magical season of the year. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the whole of Japan is dyed pink and white. In recent years, tourists from all over the world have come together to catch a glimpse of this spectacular scenery known popularly as Hanami .

Good news! Japan has opened its borders, and Rakuten Travel and DEEBO, a digital marketing company, are offering a special sale on hotels and inns from March 4 to March 15, in preparation for the cherry blossom viewing season in March 2023. This is a great chance to experience traditional Japanese culture again and enjoy the beautiful Hanami. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!

Don’t miss out!

Rakuten Travel Super Sale 2023 Spring is here.

When will the cherry blossoms bloom in 2023?

There are many different types of Sakura. Somei-Yoshino, with its fantastic pale pink and white petals, is the first variety to bloom and marks the beginning of the season. This is followed by the yamazakura, yaezakura, shidarezakura, gyoikou, shikizakura, and others, all of which delight us with their individuality and charm.

Because temperatures are expected to be much higher than normal throughout Japan, the blooming time of cherry blossoms in 2023 is expected to be earlier than normal.

Starting from Kyushu and Shikoku on March 14 and extending to Kanto, blooming will be widespread by the end of March. Some areas in Hokuriku, Nagano and parts of Tohoku are also expected to bloom by the end of March. By the end of April, the blossoms are expected to cross the Tsugaru Straits and bloom in Hokkaido as well.

Like the bloom date, the full bloom date will also be earlier than normal nationwide, with full bloom in late March in a wide area from Kyushu to Kanto, and in parts of Hokuriku and Tohoku, and in Tokyo, the full bloom is expected on March 25.

In some areas of Hokuriku and Tohoku, the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom about 10 days earlier than normal, so if you are considering a Hanami trip, please check the conditions in each area and consider the timing of your trip.

Five cherry blossom viewing spots you should visit at least once

Thinking of going on a cherry blossom viewing trip, but are not sure where to go. For those who are so inclined, we have picked up five cherry blossom viewing spots that you should visit at least once. Please use them as a reference for choosing your travel destination.

Hanami Spots in Japan 1: Kyoto

Kyoto is one of Japan’s leading tourist cities, especially known for its beautiful cherry blossoms in spring. There are many parks, shrines and temples in Kyoto, each of which is known as a cherry blossom viewing spot.

Typical places include Philosopher’s Path, Tofuku-ji Temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Shimogamo-jinja Shrine. Cherry blossoms are also lit up at various locations in Kyoto City, creating a fantastic nighttime view. During the cherry blossom viewing season, many tourists come to Kyoto to enjoy strolling and viewing the cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossom viewing spot in Japan 2: Yoshinoyama (Nara Prefecture)

Yoshinoyama, located in the southern part of Nara Prefecture, is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot that attracts many tourists from all over Japan in spring. Among the approximately 30,000 cherry trees in full bloom, someiyoshino cherry trees, known as “Yoshinoyama no Yoshida no sakura” (Yoshino cherry trees), are particularly outstanding with their graceful drooping branches and beautiful pink color.

The area is also rich in historical buildings and cultural assets, including Yoshino Shrine, Yoshino Kumano Shrine, and Kofukuji Temple. Yoshinoyama is one of the best sightseeing spots in Japan, where visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers while experiencing nature and culture.

Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Japan 3: Hirosaki Castle (Aomori Prefecture)

Hirosaki Castle, located in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan. Every year, approximately 2,600 cherry trees bloom inside the castle and in the park around the castle, and visitors can enjoy beautiful rows of cherry trees and tunnels of cherry blossoms. Especially at night, when the cherry blossoms are lit up, they radiate a fantastic beauty.

In addition to cherry blossoms, Hirosaki Castle is also home to numerous important cultural assets, making it a great place for those interested in history and culture. During the cherry blossom season in spring, events such as the Cherry Blossom Festival and the Cherry Blossom Tea Ceremony are held, offering a wide variety of ways to enjoy the area.

Why not visit Hirosaki Castle and enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms while feeling the arrival of spring?

Hanami Spots in Japan 4: Himeji Castle (Hyogo Prefecture)

Himeji Castle, located in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, is famous as one of the three most famous castles in Japan. It is also called “Shirasagi-jo” (White Egret Castle) because of the castle’s beauty, with its beautiful white walls and black roofs. During the cherry blossom season, the approximately 1,000 cherry trees planted in the castle are in full bloom, attracting many tourists day and night.

The view of the cherry blossoms from inside the castle is especially breathtaking, and at night the castle is illuminated, creating a fantastic beauty. Himeji Castle is also famous as a historical building and is designated as a national treasure. Visitors can explore the interior of the castle and find a variety of exhibits. Himeji Castle is loved by many as a sightseeing spot not only for its beautiful cherry blossoms in Japan, but also for its historical charm.

Hanami Spots in Japan 5: Tokyo

Tokyo also has many famous cherry blossom viewing spots.

Ueno Park is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Tokyo, with approximately 1,200 cherry trees in full bloom. The park is also home to cultural facilities such as the National Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, allowing visitors to enjoy both cherry blossoms and culture at the same time. The Meguro River is lined with cherry trees for approximately 3.8 kilometers, and approximately 800 cherry trees are in full bloom. At night, the trees are lit up, creating a fantastic view.

Asakusa is also famous for its cherry blossoms, which are spread out along the Sumida River and attract many cherry blossom-viewing visitors. It is recommended to enjoy food stalls under the rows of cherry trees and admire the cherry blossoms with the five-story pagoda of Sensoji Temple in the background. There are many famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Tokyo, and strolling through them is a fun way to experience the arrival of spring.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.
