Go the extra mile for that special woman in your life.

There shouldn’t be only one day in the year to celebrate 母の日 (hahanohi; “Mother’s Day”), but since we have a designated date anyway, it’s worth making that day a tad more special than usual. A typical Mother’s Day celebration in Japan extends to presenting carnations and sweets. If you want to go the extra mile to celebrate your mother, mother-in-law, or any other mother figure in your life, we’ve put together the best experience and gift ideas for Mother’s Day in Tokyo 2026—which falls on Sunday, May 10 this year.

Have mom smelling florally this Mother’s Day with this perfume by Japanese perfumer Osawa Satori. Yoru no Ume or Night Plum is inspired by one of the many classic *waka *(Japanese poems) about plum blossoms in the ancient text, the manyoshu (a collection of Japanese waka poems). While its top notes of clove and apricot and middle notes of red plum, rose and lily-of-the-valley ring in as a sweet floral, the bottom notes of sandalwood, musk, balsam fir and cinnamon impart a clean woodsy scent at the end.
