Cherry blossoms look great against a blue sky, but don’t let nightfall stop you. Japan has a long tradition of appreciating the blossoms when the sun goes down. There is even a word for it — yozakura.
Several of Tokyo’s best cherry blossom locations and festivals also moonlight as yozakura spots. At dusk, the lanterns and illuminations come on, creating a magical atmosphere.
