2 POPULAR SITES FOR ENJOYING BEAUTIFUL SAKURA IN TOKYO

Ueno Park

Shinjuku Gyoen

From mid March to mid April is the Sakura (Cherry blossoms) season in Tokyo. There are 2 most popular sites for viewing sakura; one is Ueno Park(上野恩賜公園) and one is Shinjuku Gyoen(新宿御苑).

I visited these 2 places during the weekend, and got an interesting finding. There were more younger groups (students, friends and colleagues) at Ueno Park and more families and senior people at Shinjuku Gyoen. I am not sure what caused this phenomenon, my guess is alcohol allowed at Ueno Park but Shinjuku Gyoen.

Anyway, I like both locations. Because both places show beautiful sakura and happy atmospheres.
