Despite Japan’s predominantly Shinto and Buddhist origins, Easter celebrations are starting to sprout across the country like spring flowers. It might have taken a little longer to catch on than its Christmas counterpart, but Easter in Japan is nothing short of magical. From March to May, experience the spectacle of Sakura, or cherry blossom, which sees entire towns coated in powdery pink petals that fall from the trees like confetti. Of course, Japan Easter holidays aren’t just limited to plant growth. Whether it’s Easter egg hunting in one of the countless parks, like Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo,
sampling sweet Japanese treats like mochi and Meika Hiyoko (which is in the shape of a baby chick) or attending one of the many festivals (known as matsuri) during the spring and Easter period, Japan Easter holidays can supply a wealth of memorable activities.

4.8/5
Our feedback in the initial phone call was clearly taken on board by Frances to create a great itinerary for us. All of the hotels were clean, comfortable and with wonderful staff. We really loved our three nights in Tenyu and wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for recommending Hakone, it was just the downtime we needed. We really enjoyed our time there. Audrey and the rest of the in-country concierge team were very helpful getting into restaurants etc.
