| Sakura Viewing Tour | Meguro River | Ueno Park
Cherry blossoms in Tokyo are a must-see when visiting Japan in spring! Here we’ll introduce you to some of the famous and best spots for cherry blossoms in Tokyo where you can see the whole area covered in pale pink.
1. Meguro River
This is one of the most famous areas for cherry blossoms in Tokyo. About 800 cherry trees blossom along the Meguro River, which stretches for about 3.8 kilometers from the Ikejiri-Ohashi area to Kamenokobashi under the Tokyu Meguro Line. Each year, this iconic area attracts tens of thousands of tourists and is a popular date spot at night when the blossoms are lit up.

2. Ueno Park
One of Tokyo’s busiest sakura spots for hanami, Ueno Park is high-spirited, fun and practically bursting at peak viewing times! It is estimated that nearly 2 million people will gather here to see the blossoms each spring. With around 1,000 cherry trees along the park’s main pathway, they tend to bloom a little earlier than those in other parts of the city.
During the festival, you’ll find the 133-acre park carpeted with blue tarps and packed both throughout the day and at night when the trees are lit up. There’s also a lake where you can rent a row-boat and plenty of food and drink stalls to keep you fueled!
