A Different Side of Japan

The main cherry blossom season in Tokyo is again upon us but let’s not forget that things go much later up in northern Japan. Like with the past few years, I’ll be continuing to chase peak bloom all the way up to Hokkaido where the season lasts as late as May. If you too want to come north and follow the cherry blossoms, consider checking out some of the spots on my list of favorites below… 📍 Hanamiyama Park (Fukushima) 📍 Miharu Takizakura (Fukushima) 📍 Aizu Wakamatsu (Fukushima) 📍 Hitome Senbonzakura (Miyagi) 📍 Funaoka Castle Park (Miyagi) 📍 Matsushima (Miyagi) 📍 Tsuruoka Park (Yamagata) 📍 Kakunodate Bukeyashiki (Akita) 📍 Kitakami Tenshochi Park (Iwate) 📍 Ishiwari Zakura (Iwate) 📍 Hirosaki Castle Park (Aomori) 📍 Goryokaku Park (Hokkaido) 📍 Matsumae Castle (Hokkaido) Of course, this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg so please don’t get all up in arms if I missed your favorite spot somehow. Anyway, happy cherry blossom hunting everyone! 🌸 #Travel #Travel #Tohoku #CherryBlossom #Sakura

If you really want to experience Japan, you’re going to need to come for longer than just a week. However, while an Airbnb might be a good option if you can snag one, they often require you to hop from unit to unit because of availability. Rather than worry about where you’re going to stay, instead just reserve one of the many furnished units that Weave Living offers. More affordable than a hotel, these apartments are perfect as a home base for extended stays and come with all the amenities you’ll need. Especially with Japan offering digital nomad visas, those looking to stay a bit longer and dive deeper into the culture could really use somewhere that is more conducive to daily life. After all, you’re going to need to do laundry at some point and being able to cook is also a boon. Rather than try to juggle an amalgam of only partially available Airbnbs and/or hotels, do yourself a favor and invest in one of these furnished apartments! #Travel #Japan #Tokyo #DigitalNomad #Asakusa #Sensoji #Kaminarimon #WeaveLiving #ServiceApartment
