Fukuoka April Travel Tips

1. If you miss the cherry blossoms in March and want to admire them in April, please travel to Fukuoka early in the month. In mid to late April, the cherry blossoms usually fall.
2. At the end of April, Fukuoka is even more crowded than normal April days because of the arrival of Golden Week, the holiday in Japan to take a rest and travel. Therefore, you are advised to avoid this period in your Fukuoka travel plan in April 2025.
