The irises at Meiji Shrine’s inner garden are almost in full bloom.

Can you believe this used to be the biggest castle in Japan?
Now it’s a peaceful place with gardens, moats, and a view into Japan’s past.
Ever walked around the East Gardens?

Slightly bitter, aromatic, and chewy—perfect in tempura.
You might even spot people foraging for it in the wild!

Most trees on the main street are done, but some gorgeous yaezakura are still blooming.
Also checked out a fun little art event in the shopping street—Sky Aquarium.
Spring’s not over yet!

A breezy day meant cherry blossom blizzards and peaceful spring vibes.
You can even see rare green Ukonzakura—worth the trip.
East Gardens are free to enter and surprisingly quiet for central Tokyo.
Still blooming, but better go soon!

Petals flying in the breeze = pure sakura magic.
Easy access, few people, and peaceful riverside vibes.
Honestly, this might be Tokyo’s most underrated sakura spot.

Petals are falling, the weeping cherry trees are in full bloom, and the streets are packed for the festival (until April 13)!
Skytree + sakura from Sumida Park is a must-see view.

🌸 Meguro River’s cherry blossoms are in full bloom! 🌸
Pruning has changed the scenery a bit, but the view is still beautiful. Some petals are already falling—don’t wait too long! Also, bring cash for the food stalls!

The cherry blossoms are 80% in bloom, and they might last longer with this chilly weather!
It’s a great time for a hanami picnic—with cafes & takeout spots near Kichijoji Station and in the park.
🌸 Have you seen Inokashira Park’s sakura? Let’s talk about it!
