Happy sakura season everyone 🌸
I know I said I wouldn’t do a hanami video (since I can’t hanami this year), but I ended up going to so many spots I thought it would be a waste if I didn’t make a video out of it! So here are my top 5 cherry blossom spots here in Tokyo! Yes!!! And one is a graveyard!!!!!!
It’s in a bit of a more peaceful, relaxed style than usual. Partly because I didn’t want to detract from the beauty of the cherry blossoms and partly because I didn’t realize I was filming a youtube video until I got two spots in 💀
Anyways!!! I hope you can see the cherry blossoms in Japan one day! They only last for about two weeks but are definitely one of the best times of the year to be here, as the weather and temperature are usually pretty good too 🥳 Here’s to Japan opening up in 2022 (maybe…)!
Let me know your favorite spot in the comments down below!
The spots in today’s video are….
1. Naka Meguro
2. Chidorigafuchi
3. Yasukuni Shrine
4. Yanaka Cemetary
5. Ueno Park
Number three is a bit controversial. We studied a lot about it at school and my classmate and I had wanted to visit it anyways! I wasn’t sure if I should include it but it’s definitely an interesting place and was a lot bigger than I thought. Also wasn’t very crowded!
Personally, my favorite is number 2, Chidorigafuchi! Renting a boat is super fun even though I got blisters on my hands afterwards 😅
You can actually visit these locations in two or three days! So I think they’ll be great for a trip! Here’s my suggestion…
Chidorigafuchi → Yasukuni Shrine → Imperial Palace → (Nakameguro–or do this on its own)
Yanaka Cemetary → Ueno Park
