The cherry blossoms, or Sakura, symbolize the transience and beauty of life in Japan. In 2025, the blooming season in Kyoto has begun earlier than usual, offering travelers a unique opportunity to experience this natural spectacle in a special atmosphere. An ideal sanctuary during this time is Genji Kyoto, a boutique hotel that harmoniously blends tradition and modern comfort.

In March 2025, spring arrives in its most beautiful form—with the launch of the second chapter of the Louis Vuitton × Murakami collection. As a poetic tribute to Japan’s cherry blossom season, the re-edition celebrates its 20th anniversary by reviving Japanese master artist Takashi Murakami’s exquisite Cherry Blossom motif, masterfully applied to over 40 creations.
