These dreamy castles, quaint towns, and soaring waterfalls can be part of your own happily ever after.
Turreted castles hidden in the clouds. Romantic pathways covered with lush vegetation. Forests carpeted with wildflowers.

How to See Japan's Cherry Blossoms in 2019
This year's sakura forecast covers everywhere from cities in Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan's islands, to Kagoshima, a seaside prefecture on Kyushu.
Cherry blossom season in Japan is a big deal: There are blogs, news reports, special menus, talk shows, and festivals following the trees as they go into full bloom across the country. There's even a Japanese word, hanami, specifically devoted to the viewing of cherry blossoms—and picnicking beneath them. Now, thanks to a forecast from the Japan Meteorological Corporation (JMC), which estimates the dates cherry blossoms will start to flower (kaika) and reach full bloom (mankai) in 1,000 locations across the country, it's easier than ever to find out where—and when—to hanami this year.
