Chasing Sakura at Shinjuku Gyoen

#cherryblossom25 Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is one of Tokyo’s most famous cherry blossom spots, offering a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. The garden features a stunning variety of cherry trees, including Yoshino, Shidare-zakura (weeping cherry), and Somei Yoshino varieties, which bloom in early to mid-April. Visitors can enjoy picnics under the blossoms in its spacious lawns or stroll through its scenic landscapes, which combine traditional Japanese, English, and French garden styles. The park is particularly popular for its tranquil atmosphere, making it a perfect location for hanami (flower viewing) during cherry blossom season.
