I would still want it to be as warm as it can be on that time of year in Japan, see Namie (in Tokyo Dome, I know, I need to find God or something), and the sakura. But I need to plan this and hope for the best, I already ended up paying over a thousand euros for a week in 3 star hotel at Shinjuku back in 2015. Now I just hope I could get Namie ticket without going broke hahah! |
Yeah, it's true cherry blossoms are in fully bloom in April usually, but they often start popping out in the last two weeks of March.
Last year in particular was very early, so it differs slightly year to year, but March overall is a pretty nice time to go regardless.
I'm not sure how much yen a thousand euros equate to, but I would say in this day and age, skip the hotel and get an airbnb. You can find tiny Japanese apartments for 4,000 to 5,000 yen a night. Dirt cheap and you really get the full living in Japan experience then.
