About This Event / イベントについて
Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo's top cherry blossom spots, with over 1,000 trees of more than 65 varieties. The park has early-blooming (February), mid-blooming (late March–early April), and late-blooming (April) varieties, so the season lasts longer than most places. The spacious lawns and the central pond make it perfect for hanami (cherry blossom viewing) picnics.
Hanazono Shrine also has cherry blossoms, and the shrine's traditional architecture creates a beautiful contrast with the pink flowers. The surrounding streets of Shinjuku are lined with cherry trees, and the area around the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building has a lovely cherry blossom promenade.
