The Best Places to See Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo

We’ve put together a list of some of the best Tokyo sakura (cherry blossom) viewing spots to get you in the mood for spring. For 2023, Japan Meteorological Corporation (JMC)’s most recent forecast for Tokyo puts first bloom on March 21, with the best sakura viewing times right around March 29.

Some sakura varieties bloom earlier or later than the common varieties and in case you won’t be here at peak time, we’ve included some cool options for late and early blooming sakura spots too.

The Meguro River is always crowded during the cherry blossom season, but it is worth visiting because there are many good restaurants along the river and it is lit up at night and fantastic 🌸

Hey! Thanks for the info. So the full bloom lasts a week then they start to loose their petals right? Is full bloom the best time for photography? Thank you, Paul
