Question
I’m planning my first trip to Japan, and I’ve heard a lot about the famous cherry blossoms. I would like to know when the best time to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo is. How can I ask this in Japanese?

When is the best time to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo?
This is a useful expression when you want to know the best time or season for an activity or experience.
– Tookyoo de means “in Tokyo.”
– Sakura o miru no ni means “to see cherry blossoms.”
– Ichiban yoi jiki means “the best time” or “the most suitable season.”
– Itsu desuka means “when is it?”
Simply replace sakura o miru with another activity you are interested in, and Tookyoo with another location to adjust the question for different purposes during your travels in Japan.
