DAILY INSPIRATION
Following the last issue of Keihanshin Cherry Blossom Viewing Land, this week we have prepared an issue of Hanami: Tokyo for you. "Hanami" in Japanese literally means "looking at flowers". Every year from late March to mid-to-early April is the cherry blossom viewing festival in the island country. During this time, invite some friends to find a small park to sit under the cherry trees, raise a glass and have fun. If you can do it again in the afternoon A little sunshine shines on the body through the cherry blossom petals, wow, life is perfect, and this is the most famous "Hanami culture" in Japan. During the cherry blossom season, when the breeze blows slightly, the pink cherry blossom petals flicker down like goose feathers and heavy snow in the sunshine, falling in your hair or in your wine glass. This kind of scenery must be experienced at least once in your life. .
But having said that, if you want to experience this "dream" in an island country, you have to put in some effort, because there will really be many tourists with the same vision as you appearing around you, then you may ask, what if I do this? Is it still necessary to go? Well, Mengmeng will answer you without hesitation, it’s better to go, because these beautiful views are worth your time. What’s more, what we have prepared this week is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot that you can enjoy day or night, so if you avoid the peak of the daytime crowds, it is also a good choice to simply enjoy the "night cherry blossoms".

Tokyo Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot
Inohead Onshi Park
Inohead Onshi Park is probably the most well-known for its swan boat. The park is located at Kichijoji Station. There is an exit in the direction of Inokashira Park. Walking from the station to the park, you will first pass a row of grocery shopping streets, which is very convenient for shopping. The park is centered around Inokashira Pond, and there is a long row of cherry blossom trees along the river. When I was a student, this was the cherry blossom viewing spot I must visit every year. Rent a boat and float on the lake with the waves. The cherry blossom branches on both sides stretch out. On the lake, it's right in front of you and at your fingertips. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the lake reflects the sparkling cherry blossoms. During the cherry blossom season, the lake will be filled with cherry blossom petals, like a pink blanket. If you have the opportunity to float here, it is a blessing, a blessing. During the cherry blossom season, the concession stand also sells special cherry blossom beer. Let’s have a drink. It took Yanagisawa Yoshiho 7 years to build. During the Edo period, this garden and Koishikawa Korakuen Garden were known as the two major gardens in Edo, and they are also very representative Japanese gardens in modern times. After the Meiji period, it became the villa of Mitsubishi founder Yataro Iwasaki, and it was donated to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government by the Iwasaki family in 1938. Every spring during the cherry blossom season, the "Weeping Cherry Blossoms and Daimyo Garden Illumination Event" is held here. The weeping cherry blossoms are the symbol of Rikugien Garden and are about 15 meters high and 20 meters wide. Whether it's a daytime appearance illuminated by the scorching spring sun or a figure floating in the night sky, both are worth admiring.
Meguro River
Meguro River... Mengmeng feels that the happiest thing in the world is to experience it personally, so if you really love it, I suggest you check it out and explore what exactly this place is and why it is so beautiful. ! Hahaha, I can only say that I feel like I have no regrets in this life. If you come to Meguro River during the cherry blossom season, you will understand.
Zoujoji Temple
In the New Year's Day pilgrimage guide, we mentioned Zojoji Temple - one of the spiritual temples of the Tokugawa family of the Edo shogunate, which is considered a famous temple in Japan. However, after three months, what will the Zojoji Temple look like in the spring? It must also be absolutely beautiful. When talking about Zojoji Temple in spring, the only things that come to mind are the cherry blossoms and the iron tower. It is a bit exciting that these two most iconic things in Japan are combined in spring.
Roppongi Midtown Garden
The lighting color of Tokyo Midtown is different from ordinary night cherry blossoms. It is purple, which gives the Yoshino cherry blossoms that look so otherworldly during the day a magical quality, whether you look down from the overpass or look up from below, from any angle. One word - beautiful! In fact, there are three good places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Roppongi during the cherry blossom season, but geographically speaking, Midtown is in the middle and has the best view. No matter which direction you look at, you can see the red Tokyo Tower in the distance. Just imagine, standing on the big lawn in front of the 21_21 Art Museum, there are stars in the sky, an iron tower in the distance, and a large cherry blossom scene in front of you, which makes people reluctant to leave.
PS. Some friends recently asked if they can see cherry blossoms in Japan now?
’s answer is, you can watch it.
Shizuoka Prefecture | Kawazu Sakura
From Tokyo Station, take the express train for about 2 hours and 30 minutes, and you will arrive at Izu Kawazu Town, which is famous for its hot springs. In Kawazu Town, from early February to late March, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of pink cherry blossoms in full bloom every year, which the Japanese call "Kawazu Sakura".
The pink-colored Kawazu cherry blossoms are said to be naturally bred from Oshima cherry blossoms and Hanbi cherry blossoms. Kawazu cherry blossoms are different from the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms that bloom from late March to early April in Tokyo. Once the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms bloom, they will wither in less than a week. The Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom early and have a long flowering period. The flower viewing period lasts about a month. The entire route along the river is 6.5 kilometers long, but when we get to the site, it doesn’t matter where we go, because the scenery is infinitely beautiful no matter how we go.

Cherry Blossom Blooming Forecast
Recently, the Japan Meteorological Bureau released the third round of forecasts. Generally, it takes about 5-7 days for cherry blossoms to bloom to full bloom, and about a week to go from full bloom to completely dispersed. Generally, the best viewing time is 5-10 days after flowering. So if you have plans to travel, you can arrange your schedule, calculate your time, and find a good day to have a pink dream.
