Cherry blossoms are blooming in Shinjuku.

Sakura Report 2024
27/03/2024 - Shinjuku Gyoen, Tokyo

After two days of rain, it's time to explore the cherry blossoms in Tokyo. Today, the sun is out. It's time for the cherry blossoms to start blooming. But today is the last day of the trip. The cherry blossoms haven't even bloomed yet. LOL

Let's start at the first place that should be the hope of Tokyo residents at this time, which is the well-known Shinjuku Park. The current situation, because the park has many types of cherry blossoms, some of the cherry blossoms that bloomed earlier have started to wither. And some in the Cherry Tree Area (you can search on Google Maps) all the way to Naka-no-ike Pond, where there are beautiful trees in full bloom (like in the first picture) for you to see. I counted the trees that bloomed beautifully, not more than 10 trees. The rest are in buds, some are starting to turn pink and green. The condition of the trees is like the last picture of this post. But Japanese people come to Hanami. Even though there are few, they come to get the feel. I think if you want the whole park to peak, it should be beautiful in the next 1-2 weeks. Congratulations to the early April trip team.

***I recommend that everyone who wants to visit during this period enter the park from the side connected to JR Sendagaya Station because it is the gate closest to Cherry Tree Aree. After passing through the gate, walk along the right side. Continue to see the cherry blossoms and exit through the Shinjuku gate.***

Admission fee: 500 yen/person
(No need to book in advance on normal days, but it seems that you have to book in advance on Saturdays and Sundays. I recommend checking the website again.)

Note: I went to 2 more places today, but the cherry blossoms were not in bloom. I will update you later.
