Celebrating its 40th anniversary of connecting Washington, D.C. and Japan, ANA, All Nippon Airways, has partnered with the National Cherry Blossom Festival—one of the biggest spring celebrations in the world—to send one lucky winner to Japan from one of ANA’s US gateway airports.
For every 100 entries received in the sweepstakes, ANA, Japan’s largest 5-star airline, will keep the cherry blossom spirit alive by planting a beautiful cherry blossom tree in the DC community—up to 40 trees.
One lucky “tree champion” winner will be randomly selected to receive two (2) economy class round-trip tickets to Tokyo from a United States ANA gateway airport.
The sweepstakes runs from March 2, 2026 through April 6, 2026. Winner will be notified after April 8, 2026. You must be 18 or older and a legal U.S. resident to enter. Tennessee residents are not eligible. Void where prohibited; no purchase or payment necessary to enter or win. A purchase does not increase your chances of winning.
