Sky Below, Sky Above: Nemophila at Toneri Park

Blue Bliss at Toneri Park – Tokyo’s Nemophila Spot in Full Bloom Each spring, Toneri Park in Tokyo draws flower lovers with its dreamy fields of nemophila (baby blue eyes)—delicate blue blossoms that ripple like water in the breeze. From late April to early May, the park becomes a seasonal hotspot, and yes, you're not the only one who knows about it—crowds do gather, especially on weekends. But with its spacious layout, ponds, and sprawling lawns, Toneri still offers plenty of room to breathe, wander, and snap that perfect bloom-filled shot. Beyond nemophila, tulips and other spring flowers add pops of color across the park. Get there early, bring a bento, and enjoy spring’s beauty in one of Tokyo’s larger urban parks—blue skies above, blue petals below.
