Sakura season, aka the best time to view cherry blossoms in Japan, is a dream trip for many. Typically, the flowers bloom and reach their peak season between the end of March and the beginning of April. According to the official forecast of the Japan Meteorological Corporation for 2023, cherry blossoms in Tokyo bloomed on March 14. Therefore, the Holy Week 2023 was the perfect time for tourists to flock to cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka.
Here is a list of Filipino celebrities who made a trip to Japan in order to enjoy the cherry blossoms in person:
Alexa Ilacad and KD Estrada
KDLex booked a package with celebrity favorite Sweet Escape to capture their precious moments together on camera. The two had a fun photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park and dressed in complementary colors, with Alexa matching her coat and scarf to the cherry blossoms around them. The actress even described their trip as "a dream I'm living in." So sweet!
