Osaka: cherry full bloom · 2026 reporting season
Osaka’s full-bloom milestone closes a 8-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 2026-03-26 for first flowering and 2026-04-03 for full bloom. The 8-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.

A shared date is not shared scenery
Osaka and Fukuoka reached the defined full-bloom milestone on the same date in the sample. That does not mean their trees looked identical, weather matched or petals fell on the same later day. The equality is in a recorded milestone.

Normal day and a practical next step
JMA’s full-bloom table places this observation 1 day earlier than its listed normal full-bloom date of 4 April. 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: Osaka (大阪) Observed phase: full bloom (満開) Observation cell: 4月 3日 Observed date: 2026-04-03 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 772 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.
