Tokyo is one of the best places in Japan to experience cherry blossom season, with stunning sakura views in parks, along rivers, and near historic landmarks. The city’s cherry blossoms typically begin blooming in late March and reach full bloom around early April, creating breathtaking scenery for hanami. The most common variety is Somei Yoshino, known for its delicate pale pink petals, but you’ll also find shidarezakura (weeping cherry trees), yaezakura (double-flowered blossoms), and Kawazu sakura, which bloom earlier.

Top cherry blossom spots in Tokyo include Shinjuku Gyoen, Ueno Park, Chidorigafuchi, Meguro River, and Sumida Park, where thousands of sakura trees create picture-perfect spring landscapes. Many locations offer evening light-ups, boat rentals, and food stalls, making hanami even more special.
