Best Answer

Most people would say that the Cherry Blossom(Sakura) is the National Flower of Japan. But the Yellow Chrysanthemum and the Japanese Apricot are actually supposed to be the National Flower(or flowers). The Cherry Blossom(Sakura) is more worldly renown because of its role in Japanese Legends and because of its beauty. But the Chrysanthemum used to be the sign of a great Japanese Emperor.
It's widely understood that the Japanese cherry flower represents Japan (unofficially), but there are also other flowers that (officially) represents other components of the nation itself (e.g. the paulownia represents the current Japanese government, while the chrysanthemum represents the Emperor).
People often say it is the Sakura, cherry blossom, that is the national flower.

Japan, however, does not have an official national flower.
There is no national flower for Japan. However, it is understood by the rest of the world that the cherry blossom (sakura) indirectly represents Japan. However, the paulownia flower represents the Japanese government (as it is the governmental emblem), while the chrysanthemum represents the Emperor (and Imperial Japan).
