🎉Tokyo Cherry Blossom Full Bloom Off-the-Beaten-Path Route🌸
#cherryblossom25
The Qingming holiday finally arrived! This time, I decided to avoid the crowded popular spots and chose a refreshing, off-the-beaten-path cherry blossom route. And guess what? I discovered some hidden gems! 🎶🌷
Day 1 ☀️ Morning - Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi-mae 🌸 I stayed near Nihonbashi, so my first stop in the morning was Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi-mae. The cherry blossoms line the streets on both sides, blending perfectly with the modern high-rise buildings. The sunlight shines through the branches, and it's absolutely stunning! 💫 Plus, there aren’t many tourists, so you can really enjoy the tranquility of the urban setting.✨ It's best to go in the morning when the light is soft, perfect for photography!📸
🌿 Afternoon - Kanda River 🌸 Next, I headed to Kanda River, where the cherry blossoms line both sides of the river. It feels like walking through a dreamy pink cloud! 🌸🌸 Walking along the river, passing over a few bridges, there are so many perfect photo spots! 🚶♀️💕 I walked all the way to Kubomae Bridge, where you can look down on the entire Kanda River from the bridge. The view of the cherry blossoms and the little bridges is so picturesque! 🖼️
🌆 Evening - Roppongi Midtown 🌸 In the evening, I went to Sakurazaka Park in Roppongi. When the lights came on, the cherry blossoms looked even more enchanting! 🌟 The shots from the bridge were so romantic, with the glow of the lights enhancing the beauty of the flowers. Next, I went to Tokyo Midtown Garden, which is the best place for night cherry blossom viewing! 🌙 The blossoms look even more magical under the lights, like stepping into a dreamy cherry blossom tunnel! 🌸🌙
Day 2 🌳 Afternoon - Shinjuku Gyoen 🌸 The next day, I went to Shinjuku Gyoen, and it did not disappoint! The cherry blossom trees here are massive, and the sight is really awe-inspiring! 🌳🌸 Although it’s a bit challenging to capture in photos, it’s even more breathtaking in person! 💖 Many locals were picnicking under the trees, which made the atmosphere even more peaceful. 🍱🌸 If you love a slow, relaxed stroll to enjoy the blossoms and spring, this is the perfect spot! After a walk, you can head straight to Shinjuku for shopping—super convenient! 🛍️👗
👉 Tip: I recommend entering through the Sendagaya Gate. It’s easy to walk around, and you’ll end up in Shinjuku directly! 🍃 The most beautiful gradient cherry blossom tree is right by the entrance, perfect for photos! 📸
