Japan's cherry blossom truly are wonderful, but I'm not gonna lie, I've seen as beautiful elsewhere, especially in central Europe, Poland especially.

Agreed. Classic case of the “Thing vs Thing, Japan” meme

They are just Japanese cherry blossom in Poland anyways.

Many trees of the same family are also stunning in bloom but the Japanese cherry blossom is celebrated not only for its beauty, but also for the fleeting nature of it.

I'm not sure how that translates as the tree is moved to a different climate where it doesn't belong.
