Many kinds of flowers come out now, but they don’t capture the attention of us as much as Sakura.

Where are the spots for cherry blossom (sakura) viewing in Fukuoka and its vicinity? You can see them everywhere, through the windows of trains and buses or when you are walking around your hotel. The full blossom time does not last long. Maybe about 7days. You are lucky, if you could enjoy Sakura during your stay in Japan.
