When do I need to book a cherry blossom trip?

By December for late-March travel. Searches for this trip peak between January and March, by which time the best hotels are often gone.

What if the blossom comes early or late?

The bloom shifts by a few days each year. We plan around the long-range forecast and keep the Tokyo and Kyoto nights flexible where hotels allow.
