Enchanting SAKURA -Cherry Blossoms-

The season of cherry blossoms in Tokyo lasts from March to April. Kita City particularly has many popular spots for viewing cherry blossoms. There are many spots that have over a hundred cherry trees such as Asukayama Park, which has been very popular since the Edo period, Shakujii-gawa River, which is lined with cherry blossoms on both banks, and Metropolitan Ukima Park, which is known for its Japanese primroses. You can enjoy the overwhelmingly beautiful scenery during the season when they are in full bloom. What separates those spots from other famous ones at the heart of the city is that they are relatively relaxing places where you can enjoy the scenery while being surrounded by nature.
