Cherry Blossom Viewing [Shinjuku Gyoen and Kitanomaru Park]

#Sakura2024 I went to Shinjuku Gyoen in early April when the cherry blossoms started to bloom🌸 I went there in the afternoon, but there was a line to enter, and it took nearly 15 minutes to buy a ticket and enter. If you have a transportation IC, you can enter smoothly without buying a ticket🙆♀️ In the park, there were a lot of people gathered around the cherry trees, but there was plenty of space to spread out a picnic sheet in the plaza. I visited Kitanomaru Park when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom🌸 There was no line to enter here, but it was quite crowded, probably because it overlapped with a university entrance ceremony held at the Budokan. It seems that it is also lit up at night✨
