From the wild and beautiful Mount Yoshino to the bustling city streets of Kyoto, the sudden and brief flourish of pink flowers changes everything. Animals, from macaques to deer to bees and the curious Raccoon Dog and White Eye, arrive for a wild feast.
Meanwhile, Japan’s people embrace the blossom. Some perform ancient dances and other artistic rituals; huge crowds gather for special picnics under the trees and join beautiful lantern-lit night vigils; Japan’s entrepreneurs respond accordingly to suit the occasion, with everything from blossom-forecasts to blossom-themed bento boxes and sweets – even McDonald’s turn their hamburgers pink for the event!
We take the viewers behind the scenes to reveal the extraordinary effort that goes into making this iconic event tick, as Japan is gripped by Sakura-mania.
