South KoreaFestivalsDate pending official confirmation

Seoul’s cherry blossom season brings the delicate flowers of ornamental cherry trees into the spring landscape. Cherry blossoms, or sakura, are closely associated with East Asia, especially Japan, where flower viewing, or hanami, became an important cultural tradition. South Korea is also known for cherry-blossom viewing festivals, with Yeouido and Jinhae among the places associated with this seasonal culture. Visitors to Seoul can enjoy walks beneath flowering trees, take photographs and experience the fleeting atmosphere of spring flower viewing. Blooming conditions can vary, so check current official dates and local arrangements before planning your visit.
