Would really appreciate seeing the name or abbreviations MAR or APR (lower case fine too). Makes it much easier to glance at and keep a track of any date creeping.

it’s late in London, and to be honest I find keeping track of what way round people are writing DD/MM or MM/DD on an international forum extremely confusing at the best of times.

Yes, one does have to be a goop to mistake 4/3 for 3/4 in the context of something that will happen at the end of March or at the beginning of April, but I managed to do it incredibly easily. Unconscious habits can be hard to suppress.

A slightly updated map plus first bloom and full bloom dates in various places.

I've asked this before and there are no firm answers. From my understanding, I think roughly 5-7 days but that depends on the weather. A big rain storm could drastically reduce it.

Whilst Hakodate is also famous for them, Sapporo is a bit different as the Ezo variety is a bigger deal up there (and the CERI kind is also celebrated).
I don’t have any experience with either and do not know if the advice for the Kyoto and Tokyo Yoshino trees is of any use in Sapporo.

I'm actually wondering if I should flip my dates. I currently have my Tokyo dates from April 10-15. Disney Tokyo from Apr 7-9. And Kyoto from Mar 25 - Apr 6.
I'm thinking about making Tokyo from Mar 29 - Apr 2, then Kyoto for 5/6 nights, then Disney.
Am I overthinking this?
