Tokyo: cherry full bloom · 2026 reporting season
Tokyo’s full-bloom milestone closes a 9-day interval from the recorded first flowering. Full bloom identifies a stage at the monitored tree, not the final day to enjoy blossoms or a citywide live condition.
The local pair
The preserved records give 2026-03-19 for first flowering and 2026-03-28 for full bloom. The 9-day gap is calculated by subtracting the two calendar dates. It does not measure how long every tree was in bloom, and it should not be used as a forecast for a later year.

Earliest in this sample, not in Japan
Tokyo’s 28 March observation is the first full-bloom date among the six places shown here. The collection is deliberately small: it cannot support a national earliest-bloom claim or describe every Tokyo park.

Normal day and a practical next step
JMA’s full-bloom table places this observation 3 days earlier than its listed normal full-bloom date of 31 March. For planning, check a recent report for the exact park or garden and distinguish its event information from the station observation.

Preserved source record and metadata
Official reporting season: 2026 Station: Tokyo (東京) Observed phase: full bloom (満開) Observation cell: 3月28日 Observed date: 2026-03-28 Source: https://www.data.jma.go.jp/sakura/data/sakura_mankai.html The date comes from the observed-date column, not the normal or previous-year columns. The reporting year is verified against the visible h1 and page title; the stale table summary attribute is ignored. Station code 662 and the reviewed English station label are carried over from the exact Japanese station identity in the historical baseline; the current HTML identifies stations by name. GIZUMO selected six stations, rendered the two phase labels in English and normalized observed dates. No source metadata-update timestamp is supplied for individual observations. HTTP retrieval or Last-Modified times are not observation dates. These are past observations in the current reporting-season table, not live tourist-location conditions or forecasts. A zero in the separately preserved cumulative CSV does not establish that this HTML source has no current-year observation.
