WHEN the cold winter recedes, the warmth of spring sets off blooms of flowers and Apple Vacations provides a dose of new spring and summer blossoms.

Japan

Sakura or cherry blossoms are Japan’s symbol of rebirth. It holds a prominent position in Japanese Zen culture and blooms from late February in Kyushu till as late as May in Hokkaido.

During this time, Japan holds a hanami or “flower viewing party”. Fans of the sakura will enjoy taking photos, singing, dancing, eating, frolicking and the chance to make new friends.

When you visit the Japanese Alps and Gifu, there are two highlights – the Shirakawa-go and the snow corridor of Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route.
Shirakawa-go is a Unesco World Heritage Site famous for mountain ranges, quiet rivers and the gassho zukuri farmhouse.

The Snow Corridor is 20km long and 2,450m in height, and welcomes visitors every April, with natural walls of undulating snow unfolding before their eyes.

Besides expansive scenery, captivating activities and unique festivals, Mie Prefecture is also famed for its precious delicacies.

Korea

Spring in Korea starts from the end of March till early June.

With the end of the harsh winter, young buds breathe new life on the land sprouting fresh leaves and vibrant blooms, making it the best season to travel.

The flowering season generally blooms from the south and spreads to the north – starting from Jeju Seogwipo in the southernmost tip of the South Korean peninsula.

In the warmth of the southern air, flowers bloom in succession – cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, camellia and more.

To view the flowers, visit Seoul, Gyeongsangnam-do, Jeju, for example, where the best blooms can be found.

Jeju Island, at the southernmost tip of Korea, heralds spring at the end of February when the rapeseed plant begins flowering.

By March and April, they are in full bloom, covering the entire Jeju Island with bright yellow flowers.

During this time, South Korea celebrates the spring season with traditional, cultural and recreational or sporting festivals.

Apart from cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, there are other multi-hued flowers.
