Sakura in Japan: Travel Guide and Yen Currency Exchange Tips

The Sakura Awakening: How to Experience the Cherry Blossom in Japan

Cherry blossom season, or Sakura, is more than a natural event; it is the soul of Japanese culture. At Eurochange, we know that a trip of this magnitude requires flawless planning, especially regarding currency exchange.

 

1. Magic and History of Hanami

Hanami is the tradition of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers. In cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, millions of people gather under the trees. To join them, you’ll need cash to buy food and drinks from local street stalls.

2. Why Cash is Essential in Japan

Despite its futuristic reputation, Japan is still heavily reliant on cash.

  • Local Markets and Temples: Most entrance fees and traditional markets only accept Yen in cash.

  • Suica/Pasmo Cards: These essential transport cards must be topped up with cash.
