Best Tokyo Sakura Spot

#cherryblossom2024 One of the best cherry blossom spots in Tokyo Inokasira Park has about 500 cherry trees growing along the shores of a clear mirror lake. This incredibly beautiful place is one of the best parks in Tokyo. We recommend it To see the cherry blossom in late March — early April Take a ride on the lake on an unusual boat in the shape of a swan It is interesting Inokasira celebrated its centenary in 2017 The park was a gift to the people of Japan from the imperial family Most of the sakura trees grow near the lake, many of them overhang the surface of the water How to get there The nearest train station to the park is JR Kichijoji, about 30 minutes from the center of Tokyo. Kichijoji can be reached from Shinjuku Station via the JR Chuo Line. An alternative route is from Shibuya Station on the Keio Line to Inokashira-koen Station. A time for fun Inokashira Park is especially lively during the cherry blossom season. Many visitors ,spread mats and arrange picnics to relax under the shade of flowering trees. On weekends, it is better to come early in order to have time to take a seat, but in the middle of the week there is less noise and fuss here. Not only sakura There are a lot of interesting things in Inokasir Park. There is a duck pond, a zoo and an aquarium. You can visit the temple of Bandzaiten— the goddess of music and eloquence. The museum of the famous studio Ghibli is also located on the territory of the park. To visit it, you need to buy a separate ticket.
