Outdoor Map — Sakura / Hanami in Japan

Experience Japan’s famous cherry blossom season in a new way — explore live Hanami locations and bloom timing on our interactive HDmaps Outdoor Map.

Mapping Japan’s Bloom Season

The HDmaps Outdoor Map demo showcases Japan’s famous cherry blossom, known as “Sakura”, during the spring season. The tradition of Hanami — literally “flower viewing” — has been celebrated for centuries and marks the arrival of spring across the islands of Japan. With HDmaps, you can visualize each bloom area interactively, switching between regions to explore the delicate timing of blossoms from Okinawa to Hokkaido.

Interactive Features

• Dynamic location markers for key Sakura viewing spots
• Bloom-time layers updated yearly
• Map style: HDmaps Outdoor Map (terrain optimized)

Clicking on a marker reveals local details — parks, event schedules, and average bloom dates. Users can zoom, filter by region, and interact with the data in real time. This map is a sample of what HDmaps can do for tourism and event-related data visualization.
