Here are some sites you might want to consider visiting in spring....
Imperial Palace;
Not only famous for the royal family`s residence, but it is also one of the most beautiful Hanami spots in Japan. There are about 260 sakura trees in Chidorigafuchi, an area along the Imperial Palace moat.
If you are a couple or travelling with family/friends you might want to hire a boat to enjoy Hanami from the pond. It is an absolutely breath-taking experience!
Ueno Park;
Being popular tourist destination in downtown Tokyo (Shitamachi), it is really romantic to see approximately 1,200 sakura trees being in full bloom in this spacious park. Walk through the streets filled with food stalls under sakura trees whilst enjoying the friendly atmosphere of Shitamachi Tokyo!!
Don`t miss to enjoy Hanami in the evening too, sakura trees being beautifully lit up by lights. You get to see local crowds sitting down on picnic mats, enjoying themselves eating food and drinking sake until late night!
For your information to enjoy special Hanami experience!!!
