For children, there's also a strawberry drink in a strawberry-shaped container. It was heartwarming to see everyone carefully holding their drinks🍓

Urban Oasis🌸 Cherry Blossoms of Shinjuku Gyoen
In the verdant expanse of Shinjuku Gyoen, approximately 900 cherry trees flourish, their blossoms a spectacle to behold✨️. With an estimated 70 different varieties, the park offers a diverse array of cherry blossoms to admire🥰. The extended blooming period, typically from mid-February to late April, allows for a prolonged period of enjoyment😌💓. The Kawazu cherry trees are soon expected to reach their peak bloom🥳. We highly recommend an early visit for a delightful hanami experience!
In 2023, the park was illuminated by NAKED, providing a magical setting to appreciate the nocturnal beauty of the cherry blossoms🌸. As of now, there has been no announcement for this year, so daytime hanami might be the only option. However, we believe that basking in the sun while admiring the cherry blossoms will be a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Prime Spot to View Tokyo Tower and Cherry Blossoms

Nestled in the Minato ward, with the iconic Tokyo Tower standing tall in its vicinity, Zojoji Temple is a renowned sanctuary of tranquility. This historic site, dating back 600 years, is also the final resting place of six shoguns from the Tokugawa family.
On a day when the weeping cherry blossoms were in their eighth bloom, I found myself in this place of profound charm. As it was a weekday, the crowd was sparse, making the experience even more serene. The sight of the blossoms, at their near peak, was breathtaking, and I can only imagine the spectacle they would present in full bloom or when they begin to fall.
Within the temple grounds, the weeping cherry trees and Somei Yoshino cherry trees create a stunning spectacle. The Shiba Park surrounding the temple also boasts Somei Yoshino cherry trees, offering a delightful collaboration of Tokyo Tower and cherry blossoms for an extended period.
Incredibly, the temple grounds are home to nearly 200 cherry trees of various types! It's truly a sight to behold. The best time to visit is typically from late March to early April.

Shibazakura, unlike the cherry blossoms that bloom on trees, are strikingly vibrant in pink and incredibly cute🥳💞💞
One of the reasons why this place is recommended is because it is the earliest to reach its peak among the Shibazakura spots in the Kanto region☺️🫶
You can enjoy the Shibazakura a step ahead, giving a sense of exclusivity🎶
The breathtaking view of Shibazakura amidst the German-style buildings offers a unique blend of Japanese and Western experiences, making it absolutely fantastic🌸🇩🇪🍻
As the name suggests, the park is filled with German gourmet food and plenty of beer!! It's also great to grab these and enjoy the flower viewing🙆♀️🧡
We recommend a leisurely picnic while gazing at the expansive Shibazakura and rapeseed flowers spread across the vast grounds👫💓🍱
Laying out a leisure sheet, eating a packed lunch, playing badminton, it was a day full of fun🥳💖
It's highly recommended not only for dates but also for families with children and outings with friends🫶✨
Please do visit the German Village for Shibazakura flower viewing🥰
