Ah, yes, good catch, mrwunrfl - I didn't see that and I agree - even if you spent one night in Hiroshima and one on Miyajima it would be fine imo....and the trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima is only about two hours....so I would think there is plenty of time to sightsee...

Here's a cherry blossom/sakura forecast linked from the japan-guide.com site. It's in Japanese obviously but you can see the map and dates. If you have a Japanese translation tool you can scroll down and see more details for each area....ht, are you in agreement?

Mara,
Looks like they are getting earlier and earlier with their predictions like they are getting competition from somewhere else
Yes, I said a few months back that this year 2013's cherry and koyo season would be closer to the normal dates this year than in the previous two years. La Nina is all about fizzled out and an ENSO neutral period is beginning here in the Pacific. I know....what the heck is and ENSO neutral
Aloha!

You just had to shove that Shikoku(Iya Valley) knife deeper into my heart didn't you?
Aloha!
