Sakura最前線

"Sakura Zensen" (桜前線) is a term used in Japan to refer to the advance of cherry blossoms as they bloom across the country in spring. The term "sakura" refers to cherry blossoms, and "zensen" means "front line" or "advance." The cherry blossom front typically starts in the south of Japan in late March and moves northward, with the flowers reaching Tokyo around early April and Hokkaido in May.

The sakura front line is highly anticipated and celebrated in Japan, with many people planning hanami (花見), which is the traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms. People gather under the cherry blossom trees with friends and family, having picnics and drinking sake. The blooming of cherry blossoms is also seen as a symbol of the fleeting nature of life and is an important part of Japanese culture and aesthetics.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) releases an annual cherry blossom forecast, which is closely watched by both Japanese and international travelers who want to plan their visits to coincide with the cherry blossom season. The forecast is based on temperature and other weather conditions, and it helps people plan their hanami parties and other cherry blossom-related events.
