Cherry Blossoms in May? -

Hi,
We will be in Japan in May and I am wondering if there is a chance to still experience any cherry blossoms during mid-May? From the forecasts it's probably too late. But I saw in some brochure from Nikko that there are spots higher up in the mointains where there still are cherry blossoms in mid-May. they mention Chuzenji-Onsen.
We will be arriving in Tokyo on May 8th, stay a few days in the city and then head off to see other parts. As we have a rail pass, we wouldn't mind going a couple of 100km north to still catch some sakura.
Any recommendations for good places are much appreciated.
Mike
