Travel Note

Travel Recommendations

Travel Recommendations: We suggest two options for your trip to Japan: Option A: Arrive 10–14 days before the wedding to explore Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka during the Cherry Blossom Festival. The festival typically peaks in late March to early April, offering a vibrant cultural experience. Option B: Arrive 2–3 days before the wedding, travel directly to Fukushima, and explore Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka afterward. Please note that by this time, the cherry blossoms in southern Japan may have already peaked due to the warmer climate. Flying into Tokyo: Tokyo has two main international airports: Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND). Haneda is closer to central Tokyo and often preferred, but flights may be more expensive.
