Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear in Nagoya in April?
Spring clothes are fine. Basically, a long-sleeved jacket or cardigan will suffice. However, in the first half of April, it can still get cold in the mornings and evenings, so if you are viewing the cherry blossoms at night, you may want to carry a light cord (spring coat). If you are going from Nagoya to Takayama or Shirakawa-go, those areas are a bit cooler than Nagoya. We suggest you bring a coat, as it will be a bit cooler in those areas than in Nagoya. For more information on spring clothing, see the following article.
Can I see cherry blossoms in Nagoya in April?
Yes, you can. Usually in early April, the cherry blossoms are at their best in Nagoya. If you want to see cherry blossoms after mid-April, you should visit places such as Takayama or Shirakawa-go.
