Since my last post on this years Cherry Blossom Forecast i’ve had a few comments and emails asking where there best spots to view Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo, so here’s a list i’ve put together of 7 spots to view this years Cherry Blossoms and the nearest station access for each.

Yoyogi Koen - is one of the largest parks in Tokyo, located adjacent to Harajuku Station and Meiji Shrine in Shibuya. A few minute walk from Harajuku station.

Ueno Park - is a spacious public park located in the Ueno section of Taito-ku. Right next to Ueno station.

Shinjuku Gyoen - is a large park with an eminent garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya. A 5 minute walk from Shinjuku Station.

Aoyama Cemetry - is a cemetery in Minato. Although maybe a little creapy for some it’s a 5 minute walk from Nogizaka or Gaienmae stations. 

Chidorigafuchi Senbotsusha Boen - is the Japanese cemetery for war dead, near to the Imperial Palace and Yasukuni Shrine. The easiest access is by Kudanshita station.

Sumida Park - The park stretches for a few hundred metres along both sides of the Sumida River. Asukusa station is the closest.

Inokashira Park - This pary straddles Musashino and Mitaka in western Tokyo.  Kichijoji station is your best bet.

If you want to know the dates for years Cherry Blossom Season you can go here.

If you know a great place for a Hanami Party and you don’t mind sharing let me know and i’ll add it to the list.
