2025.03 Tokyo Five-Day Cherry Blossom Season Trip - Itinerary Overview

This year marks my first trip to Japan during the cherry blossom season. I've always wanted to travel during this time, but the airfare was usually prohibitively expensive. This time, I managed to snag a last-minute discounted ticket, and within a month, I booked the flight, reserved accommodations, confirmed insurance, and even finalized the itinerary. I feel so accomplished! 👍🏻

🌟 Travel Goal: Fully immerse myself in cherry blossoms and nighttime sakura views 🌸
