Cherry‐blossom viewing in Tokyo

If you can have chance to come to Japan in spring, I strongly recommend you to schedule to stay in Japan from the end of March to the beginning of April. During the special term, you can enjoy cherry-blossom viewing here and there.

Only during the cherry‐blossom viewing term, it is allowed to enjoy the viewing with alcohol and food outside in some specific parks. Thus many of people in Japan enjoy cherry-blossom party with picnic sheet under cherry‐blossom trees, drinking beer/Sake in such special area during the special timing.

 

Some of the place allow people to enjoy cherry‐blossom not only day time but also at night, illuminating the area. The sight of cherry‐blossom viewing at night is also awesome, standing out delicate beauty of cherry-blossom petals

 

Of course, you can enjoy cherry‐blossom viewing, just walking around the area without party. Or if you are lucky, you can have cherry‐blossom view table at restaurant or café.
