Bloom Watch: Sakura & Foliage

Bloom Watch finds cherry and plum blossoms, ginkgo and maple leaves that are in season now, and tells you when to go. ONE MAP FOR WHAT’S IN SEASON • 800+ spots in 15 Japanese and 12 Chinese cities: parks, temples, streets, riversides, castles and more • Switch between cherry, plum, ginkgo and maple; each has its own marker on the map • A list sorted by distance, with search, category filters and one-tap directions • Open a spot’s official website, or share its forecast with friends BLOOM AND LEAF FORECASTS • This season’s first bloom, full bloom, turning and leaf-fall dates for Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka and 78 more Japanese cities (Pro) • Forecasts for Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Chengdu, Changsha and 7 more Chinese cities, updated daily • Kyoto’s famous maple spots, such as Tofuku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera, get their own dates from past records, about three weeks ahead of the observatory’s specimen tree • A machine learning model trained on many years of Japan Meteorological Agency phenology records, run on each city’s temperatures this year and the weather forecast • Once the viewing window is within the weather forecast, see its weather day by day, with warnings when wind or rain may end it early • Forecasts are for Somei-Yoshino cherry and Japanese maple; for Chinese cities they are an extrapolation, so allow one to two weeks either way LIVE REPORTS FROM VISITORS • Been there? Report how it looks in one tap: Buds, Opening, Full bloom, Faded (or Green, Turning, Peak color, Fallen) • See the last seven days of reports. Anonymous, no account needed FAVORITES AND REMINDERS • Save spots anywhere, grouped by city • Get reminded before the season starts (Pro) • Add the whole viewing window to your calendar (Pro) BLOOM WATCH PRO • Weather beyond the next three days, through each viewing window • This season’s forecasts for 81 Japanese cities • Japan Meteorological Agency records for each Japanese city, mostly the last ten years • Reminders before the season starts at your favorite spots and cities • Add each viewing window to your calendar Note: some cities have fewer years of ginkgo and maple records, or none; for cities the agency no longer observes, the app shows their last ten years.
