We don’t actually have the package tour for the cherry blossoms right now, but we can plan the tour for hidden Sakura spots in Tokyo if you make an inquiry. 

Hidden Sakura Spots in Tokyo

You may observe an increase in the amount of “where and when to see sakura” articles as the cherry blossom season approaches. These are the busiest locations overall, and several of them appear to list the same locations. Here are some additional locations where you may watch the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, and even better, take a break and have a picnic there (also known as hanami in Japanese).

Harimazaka Sakura Namiki
We will take you to a lengthy roadway that slopes down a hill and has a pedestrian-only path running down the middle of it that is about five minutes’ walk from Myogadani Station. You  will see 150 sakura trees lining this path, and when they are in bloom, they make for a spectacular sight. The 500-meter strip of trees will have a few market stalls, but it won’t be very crowded. The Koishikawa Botanical Gardens, a very tranquil university garden with many sakura, are a short stroll away from there.

Shakuji River
This is a wonderful place to walk. Our tour will  start at Oji Station’s Asukayama Park. Although it will be crowded and known for its sakura, this park shouldn’t be missed. The Shakuji River is across the street, so we will turn left there. We will take a stroll along this river as we head into Itabashi. There are sakura trees lining both sides of the river, which is not extremely busy. We can stop for a picnic at any of the parks that veer off the path because there are lots of them. The playground in front of the Lycée Français International de Tokyo can be an excellent location to pause if you are traveling with children. Given how far the river stretches, you are free to keep going as long as you like.

Yanaka
The Yanaka area is a historically working-class neighborhood of Tokyo that has kept its roots from the Edo Period. Over 7,000 graves are located within the 100,000+ meter-long Yanaka Cemetery. In the spring, it is incredibly calm and teeming with sakura trees. A unique mix in the heart of Tokyo. One of our most well-liked tours takes visitors to “Yanesen” (Yanaka, Nezu and Sendagi). We can take a stroll through Yanesen visiting Yanaka to observe the sakura. Our team can combine your day with any of these sakura locations because it is also quite close to Ueno and the Sumida River/Sky Tree.

Ojima Komatsugawa Park
Both Koto-ku and Edogawa-ku are home to Ojima Komatsugawa Park, which is very much “off the beaten path.” The main area is a sizable, grassy field that receives a lot of shade from the numerous cherry blossom trees. This park features a decent adventure playground for kids and is great for picnicking on the grass. We will continue our stroll past the main field and into the other parts of the park. On one side of the park, the Kyu-Nakagawa River is located, and on the other, the Arakawa River.

Ogunohara Park
Ogunohara Park is a modest neighborhood park with little to no visitor traffic. In a residential area in Adachi-ku, it resembles a green oasis. Kids enjoy playing there and catching bugs because of the area’s expansive green lawn and dragonfly pond with fauna. In the summer, there is a splash pool and a small playground. Locals love to visit here to see the cherry blossoms, and the park is surrounded by these lovely trees. We will take you to see lots of “willow sakura,” which are cherry blossom trees that resemble willow trees. Although there isn’t much else around, it’s ideal if you are already in the “shitamachi” side of Tokyo to begin with. This is still a fantastic alternative for a picnic.

Nogawa Park and Nogawa River
Nogawa is a sizable park with tennis courts, a sizable athletic field, and a playground that runs alongside the Nogawa River. It has a whopping 8000 trees, many of which are sakura. Unlike Tokyo, the river has grass along its banks. The park also offers a grilling area, a natural observation center, and a bird sanctuary. Starting at Musashino Park and traveling along the river directly to Nogawa Park would make for a pleasant day trip. We might easily spend a full day relaxing here because of its size.

Zenpukuji River and Zenpukuji Park and Wadabori Park
Before becoming a stunning natural sanctuary in Zenpukuji Park and Wadabori Parks, the Zenpukuji River weaves its way through Suginami-ku. We can observe over 700 sakura trees spread out among the two parks. The Suginami Children’s Traffic Park and a number of playgrounds make this the ideal location for families to enjoy “hanami.”.

Koganei Park
West Tokyo, which is unquestionably Tokyo’s greener side, is where Koganei Park is situated. In fact, the West has numerous sizable parks. One of the top is Koganei. There is a sizable playground and an artificial sledding hill for children, and the Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum is there for adults. We can see 1700 trees in blossom throughout the sakura season, creating beautiful pictures.

Sengawa River and Soshigaya Park
The Sengawa River is another lovely river for cherry blossoms. Our team can visit Setagaya-ku, where you can find huge houses that are unusual for Japan. Starting at Soshigaya Park, you can go in any direction by following the trees. We can walk all the way down the river to Kinuta Park, another sizable open area with grass, trees, and flowers, if we have the time.
