Sakura Cherry Blossom in Aizuwakamatsu Fukushima Japan

Using the JR pass, i made a day trip to visiti the Tsuruga jo castle in Aizuwakmatsu in the fukushima prefecture. The journey here took about 3 hours one way
The sakura in fukushima blossoms around the 3rd week of april which is a bit later compared to tokyo (usually end march to early april)
If you have jr pass, try visiting here its worth it
