A petal that has fallen from the Grand Narukami Shrine's Sacred Sakura. They float in mid-air due to the effect of Electro energies.Legend holds that the roots of Thunder Sakura are linked deep beneath the earth. Should you trace these roots, you will always come back to this sacred sakura tree that stands guard over Inazuma. Some other legends have it that the Thunder Sakura are part of the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, the result of her splitting her divine form into parts, all the better to defend those under her rule with.

What is a Sakura Bloom?
Sakura Bloom is a local plant found in Inazuma’s Narukami Island. They’ll appear as a cluster of pink and purple leaves and can only be gathered after getting in contact with any electro skill. Like other resources in the game, sakura blooms can be found in their fixed locations in the map and will respawn after at least 48 real-life hours have passed. You can only get 1 bloom per cluster.
Sakura Bloom Uses
So far, only Ayaka uses Sakura Bloom as ascension material. You’ll need a total of 168 sakura blooms to fully ascend ayaka. (As of this moment, no weapons are using Sakura bloom as ascension material. )The following dishes use sakura bloom as ingredient:
* Sakura Mochi
* Sakura Tempura
* "Snow on the Hearth"
* Tricolor Dango
Sakura Bloom Locations
As mentioned above, this resource is found only in Narukami Island. Thankfully, Mihoyo’s official interactive map has been updated and will include the individual locations of the sakura blooms. We highly recommend using this map since it also provides the locations of other important spots like oculi, materials, statues, and more.
If you’re a PC and mobile player, you can also log in to the official Mihoyo site so you can manually mark off/hide the one-time resources that you have collected like the electroculi. This will make it easier for you to track the ones you have already collected or not. If you’re an original PS4/PS5 player like me, it will be a good idea to enable cross-save by using a fresh email account (with no Genshin Impact progress) to a Mihoyo account. That way, you can keep track of your progress with the interactive map by using it on your phone or mobile device while playing on the console.
Sakura Blooms are quite a hassle to collect since you’re limited to one bloom per spot. Furthermore, most sakura bloom spots are not found close together so you’ll have to cover a large area in order to get a handful of blooms. There’s really no immediate need of collecting them except if you have Ayaka and you’ll want to fully ascend her. Since there’s only a total of 75 blooms that can be collected in a single day, you may need to wait for a few days or visit other players’ worlds and ask if you can farm this resource from there.
This concludes our short guide about farming Sakura Blooms in the Inazuma region in Genshin Impact. Please check out our other pages within the guide for more helpful tips and Genshin Impact content.
