Tokyo | Edogawa Heisei Garden | Tokyo Cherry Blossom Hidden Land | Nishikasai Lakeside Spring

#SeptemberBestPlaces2025

Edogawa Heisei Gardens, located near Nishi-Kasai in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, is a hidden gem of a Japanese garden nestled within the city. While not listed among Japan's 100 Famous Cherry Blossom Spots, its exquisite landscape and tranquil cherry blossoms captivate locals and tourists seeking tranquility. The garden boasts approximately 200 cherry trees, primarily Somei Yoshino and weeping cherry blossoms. In spring (from late March to early April), their delicate pink petals encircle the central lake, creating an elegant spring scene against the backdrop of a winding bridge, a teahouse, and manicured pine trees. The nighttime illuminations create a dreamlike atmosphere, with reflections on the lake and the lights blending to create a romantic nighttime viewing experience perfect for those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Getting there: From Tokyo Station, take the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line to Nishi-Kasai Station, a 10-minute walk. The gardens are free and open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The night cherry blossoms are usually illuminated until 8:00 PM (subject to annual announcements). Visiting early in the morning or evening on weekdays is recommended to avoid the holiday crowds and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the cherry blossoms and Japanese garden.
