Cherry Blossoms in Jeju Forecast for 2024
So far, a preliminary South Korea cherry blossom forecast has been released, and cherry blossoms are expected to bloom a few days earlier.
Usually though, it takes place closer to the last week in March to the first week of April.
They will update as the dates get closer, but it’s better to book now as these tours sell out fast.
