At the start of each year, an effort is made to aid both Japanese and international visitors in pinpointing the best times and places for cherry blossom viewing through the analysis of temperature, wind, and additional data. Following this analysis, a map detailing the cherry blossom bloom times across Japan is created. Furthermore, numerous informational websites list specific locations for cherry blossom sightings along with recommended sightseeing routes. This tradition of cherry blossom viewing is commonly referred to as "花見," hana-mi, (with "花," Hana, meaning flower in Japanese, and "見," mi, indicating viewing).
