Filipino travelers flock to Japan and South Korea for spring blooms, boosted by new guarantees and exclusive experiences.

Filipino travelers are increasingly choosing Japan and South Korea for spring trips, driven by cherry blossoms and other seasonal attractions, with 78% planning visits to Japan and 52% to South Korea. A shift toward multi-destination itineraries and lesser-known regions reflects a growing preference for discovery-driven travel. Klook reports a 57% surge in search interest for "cherry blossom" terms from December 2025 to February 2026. To address concerns about missing peak blooms and travel disruptions, the company launched the Bloom Back Guarantee—offering a 30% refund if blossoms don’t appear during forecasted periods—and deployed 25 Chief Spring Officers for real-time guidance. Exclusive experiences, including nighttime cherry blossom tours with fireworks in South Korea, aim to enhance traveler confidence and experience quality.
