Sakura Viewing Guide - The 44 Best Sakura Viewing Spots in Japan

If you visit Japan in spring, make sure you enjoy the wonderful sight of the sakura (cherry blossoms). This article introduces useful information
Sakura - The Symbol of Spring in Japanese Culture

The number of visitors to Japan from abroad spikes in spring, especially in April as many people come to view the sakura (cherry blossoms), which bloom freely all over the country.

The cherry tree is a deciduous tree in the rose family, which has spread out in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere, in places such as East Asia, Europe and the North American continent. Pink and white flowers bloom in spring, and they are mostly planted for decoration purposes.

Sakura have been regarded as a symbol of spring since the Heian era, and this has been woven into the cultural consciousness of Japan. They bloom in April, which is considered to be the beginning of a new year in Japan in regards to business and academics. Sakura are also a symbol of a new start, such as graduation, entering a new school or starting new employment. It is a truly special flower for the Japanese.

Currently, there are more than 600 types of sakura in Japan, but the Somei-Yoshino, which spread after the Meiji Period, is the most abundant. It's actually quite fun to travel around Japan and check out the differences between the various types of sakura.

Ohanami: An Annual Spring Event
In Japan, there is an event called ohanami or ‘cherry blossom viewing party’ in spring, in which people enjoy the sakura in full bloom. This section is about its history and the manners one should heed at ohanami parties.

History: It Began in the Heian Period
Ohanami are said to have started in the Heian era, when aristocrats would gather together under the sakura and write poems. There is also an account of an ohanami in Tale of the Genji, the oldest novel written in Japan, describing it as a custom among the nobility.

Ohanami became popular among the common people over the years. Now, it is seen as an opportunity to have a picnic while viewing the flowers.

Take a look at Did You Know?! All About Ohanami (Japanese) for more.

What You Need for Ohanami

The general idea of ohanami is to find a place where you can view the sakura, cover the ground with a tarpaulin sheet and sit down to view the flowers. Bring your own food and drinks, along with paper cups and saucers, and enjoy a picnic under the flowers.

15 Must-to-Bring for "Ohanami" has more about the things you should prepare for an ohanami, so take a look.

Manners: Sort Out the Trash
Many people come to view the beautiful sakura, and the proper manners of ohanami have become an issue. The following are some points to watch out for.

Don't Leave Your Trash Behind, Sort It Out

At ohanami parties, people enjoy dining with their friends and families in public parks and the like. The amount of trash will grow with the number of participants, but leaving your trash behind or just throwing it away is out of the question.

Trash boxes are set up at the major viewing spots, so be sure to use them. The trash should be sorted out in categories, such as burnable waste, non-burnable garbage, and recycling items, like plastic, cans and bottles.

How to Deal with Trash After "Ohanami" will tell you more on how to handle the trash.

Do Not Harm the Sakura

At ohanami parties, people can enjoy the sakura at arm's length. Some break off a branch to take back home, or rustle the tree to make the petals fall. Sakura are a delicate plant, and such acts may make them wither or not capable of blooming in the future. When you go to ohanami, don't touch the trees, and just enjoy the view.

Viewing Seasons in Major Areas
Sakura blooms in spring, but their cycles differ in each area. The list below shows the blooming dates of major areas, in an average year. The date changes every year, so if you are planning a visit, be sure to check in advance.

Recommended Sakura Viewing Spots
There are sakura viewing spots all over Japan, and the following is a list of major spots in the nine areas.

Six Recommended Sakura Viewing Spots in the Tokyo Area
1. Nakameguro: Meguro River

Meguro River is located near Nakameguro Station, which is two stops away from Shibuya Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. It is a prominent viewing spot in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. The river is 8 kilometers long, running through Setagaya, Meguro and Shinagawa wards, and in the spring, 800 trees bloom on the riverside along 4 kilometers.

The chic area surrounding the Nakameguro Station is filled with cafes, restaurants and shops. It is also one of the popular, sought-after areas for people to live in. In spring, visitors can spend all day in this area, as they can enjoy viewing the sakura, dine, shop and also enjoy the yozakura (night view of the illuminated sakura).

2. Ueno: Ueno Park

The Shinkansen, JR Lines and the subway all run through Ueno Station. From the station, it is a three minute walk to Ueno Imperial Park, an expansive park also known as Ueno Park. The park has been famous as a sakura viewing spot from the Edo Period, and people viewing the sakura, with the ubiquitous blue tarpaulins covering the ground, have become a common sight in spring.

The park is illuminated at night, and the visitors can enjoy the yozakura. Public lavatories are located in the park too, so there is no need to worry. There are several museums, a zoo, and cafes in this park, making it a great place to spend a pleasant day out in the city.

3. Shinjuku: Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Shinjuku Gyoen is a large garden, originally built for the Imperial Family. Visitors can enjoy three different types of gardens: the French Garden, with its beautiful tree-lined avenues, the English Landscape Garden, which has a spacious lawn, and the traditional Japanese-style Garden.

There are 65 types of sakura, about 1100 trees in all, planted in the garden, and it might be fun to try and find out the differences between them. Sakura manju (buns with sweet filling), sakura konpeito (pointed sugar candy ball, scheduled for sale in March) and sakura dorayaki (pancakes with filling) are sold at the stands in the garden.

Bringing alcoholic beverages into the garden is prohibited, so if you want to enjoy a quiet atmosphere, this is the perfect spot.

4. Asakusa: Sumida River and Sumida Park

Asakusa is popular with visitors from abroad as an area where traditional Japanese scenery is still preserved, while Sumida River and Sumida Park, located nearby, are both known as riverside viewing spots.

The sakura along the Sumida River can be enjoyed by just walking along the riverside, or by looking up from a yakatabune (roofed boat with tatami floors). Tokyo Skytree is also nearby, so visitors can enjoy the view of both the sakura and the tower.

5. Roppongi: Mori Park

Mori Park is a surprisingly large, charming Japanese garden, located among the commercial facilities of Roppongi Hills.

Located in the middle of an urban area, the park has a soothing effect on the visitors, becoming popular as a relaxation spot for shoppers and restaurant patrons. The scenery here changes every season, and visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves as well as the cherry blossoms.

6. Den-en-chofu: Sakurazaka

Photograph: provided by Public Relations Office, Ota City

Sakurazaka, located in Den-en-chofu, an upscale residential area, is a viewing spot where you can enjoy a tunnel created by the sakura. "Sakurazaka" is also a title of a song by the popular Japanese singer, Masaharu Fukuyama. Many people come to visit the place which inspired the song, throughout the year.

"Sakurazaka" is a love song, so couples going out on a date often stop to take photographs at Sakurabashi Bridge, located at the top of Sakurazaka. As this viewing spot is located in a residential area, be sure to keep your voice down.

Sankeien is an immense Japanese garden located in Yokohama, in Kanagawa prefecture. It was a place to support artists, and the year 2016 marks its 110th anniversary.

In spring, the 300 sakura trees blend into the beautiful Japanese landscape. The historic buildings relocated from Kyoto and Kamakura to this garden are also worth a look.

2. Izu: Kawazu-cho

Kamakura, once the capital of Japan, has become famous as a sightseeing spot in Kanagawa prefecture, with its natural environment and various shrines and temples. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is a major sightseeing spot, where the visitors can enjoy the sakura blending into the scenery full of historic buildings.

The trees are lined up on both sides of the dan-kazura (raised approach to the shrine). Visitors can enjoy strolling around the various souvenir shops and restaurants in the surrounding areas while enjoying the view as well.

4. Yamanashi: Lake Kawaguchi

Kawaguchiko (Lake Kawaguchi) in Yamanashi Prefecture is located at the foot of Mt. Fuji. It takes about two hours by car or train to reach this area, where visitors can enjoy spectacular views every season, including that of the sakura in spring.

Many people visit the lakeside Nagasaki Park, to view the sakura against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji. The altitude of this area is higher than Tokyo's, meaning that the sakura typically bloom in late April. Those who missed the sakura in Tokyo should definitely visit Kawaguchiko.

5. Fujiyoshida: Chureito Pagoda

The Arakurayama Sengen Park in Fujiyoshida City, located near Mt. Fuji, is famous as a viewing spot boasting 650 sakura trees. It has become popular with visitors from abroad as a spot to enjoy the symbolic view of Mt. Fuji, along with the Chureito Pagoda.

Mt. Fuji, the pagoda and sakura can all be viewed from the observatory, which is also the perfect spot to take photographs. Walking through the sakura tunnel is also very enjoyable.
