On the western fringes of Tokyo, the Shinjuku Gyoen Imperial Garden stands as an oasis of tranquility amidst the urban bustle. The site is adorned with hundreds of cherry trees that sometimes bloom late. The serene ambiance of the garden, juxtaposed against the city's skyscrapers, enhances the beauty of the cherry blossoms.
The next spot is in Yokohama, more specifically, Mitsuike Koen Park. Here, tourists should expect to be captivated by the splendid view of the park with its three ponds and a thousand cherry trees. The departure to this place is from Shin-Yokohama Station or Tsurumi Station.
The more adventurous can visit the Chureito Pagoda. The pagoda also puts on a magnificent show on the famous Mount Fuji while enjoying the cherry blossoms. Generally, the wee hours are the best time to go, and access is not difficult at all because Chureito is a 20-minute walk from Shimoyoshida Station, making morning walkers happy.
Osaka is an excellent option for continuing this quest for cherry blossoms in Japan. This area attracts tourists so much. Now home to more than 5,000 cherry trees, it was once a site of the 1970 World's Fair. From now on, calm and serenity reign above all in this place.
Travelers who have heard about the history of the weeping cherry tree will certainly be satisfied to stop at Miharu Tahizakura. This single tree, estimated to be over 1,000 years old, is a living testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. To behold its majestic beauty, visitors must journey to Fukushima Prefecture.
