Fukuoka: cherry full bloom · 2026 reporting season
Fukuoka’s full-bloom milestone closes a 10-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 2026-03-24 for first flowering and 2026-04-03 for full bloom. The 10-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 full-bloom tie after different starts
Fukuoka and Osaka share 3 April as their full-bloom date, despite different opening dates. A useful follow-up is to compare the two complete pairs. An unhelpful shortcut is to estimate every full-bloom date by adding the same number of days to first flowering.

Normal day and a practical next step
JMA’s full-bloom table places this observation 3 days later 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: Fukuoka (福岡) 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 807 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.
