April 1 to 10: Cherry-Blossom Season (Northern Hemisphere)

In Japan, cherry blossom season is a time for admiring the spring flowers with friends and family, usually with a packed picnic basket and, as Gulliver would put it, the GOOD soda.

However, you don't have to be Japanese or interested in Japanese culture to have fun with the cherry blossoms DIY and enjoy the gorgeous cherry blossom trees! Why not gather your friends and enjoy this time limited scenery?

Note: this event is only in the Northern Hemisphere during April.

April 1 to 12: Bunny Day

April Exclusive DIY Recipes

You can get these when you are in the Northern Hemisphere which is currently in the season of Spring.

Get Outdoor Picnic Set from Isabelle

Once April comes around (for Nothern Hemisphere players), Isabelle will give you an Outdoor Picnic Set Recipes so you can enjoy the cherry-blossom season. This marks the beginning of April exclusive DIY items, so make sure to play the game during this time!

April Exclusive Items

Get Cherry-blossom Petals from April 1 to 10

For a short period of 10 days, you'll be able to catch cherry-blossom petals that are flying around. Like Butterflies, you'll have to use your net to catch them. They can disappear if you miss or bump into them, so you'll want to be careful when aiming for them.

The Cherry-blossom petals can be used to craft DIY items like the Outdoor picnic set or Cherry-blossom Pochette, and the petals and DIY recipes can only be found in this period.

Note that this event is only in the Northern Hemisphere during April.
