Choose one region with a clear seasonal advantage and keep your daily order flexible. The best moment may be a market morning or a misty hill rather than a formal blossom site.
Prepare for wet days
Shoes that tolerate rain, a light waterproof layer, and flexible indoor options keep a spring route comfortable.
Avoid chasing every bloom report
Flower timing changes by elevation and weather. Treat peak reports as a possibility, not a guarantee that should control the whole trip.
