It’s cherry blossom season again in Tokyo 🌸
While I still visit popular spots like Nakameguro and Shinjuku Gyoen every year, I personally prefer the lesser-known places I’ve discovered over the years. Here are a few hidden gems I’d love to share with you:
🌸 Near Seijo Gakuen-mae Station
Perfect for walking or cycling. There are many beautiful Japanese-style buildings intertwined with cherry blossom trees. The area covered by cherry blossoms is quite large, so you can just wander and snap great photos effortlessly.
🌸 Sakuragaoka area, Setagaya Ward
There’s a long cherry blossom street that gives off a strong "Japanese drama" vibe. Both sides of the road are lined with lush cherry blossom trees. It's great for bus rides or cycling through, enjoying the view from both sides. You can even walk up a small hill nearby to get a panoramic view of the cherry blossom street.
🌸 Near Setagaya Station
This area has lots of old-style Japanese houses with cherry trees that have been around for decades in front of them. It feels just like being in Kyoto. If you're heading to Sangenjaya or Gotokuji, it’s a nice detour to stroll around.
🌸 Kinuta Park
If you're looking to have a picnic under the cherry blossoms or want to shoot photos with large cherry trees, this is a great option. It's less crowded than Yoyogi Park, and the number and size of the cherry blossom trees are impressive
