Toshimaen  豊島園

Nighttime Cherry Blossom Viewing

This amusement park features gorgeous Somei-Yoshino and Yaezakura cherry trees. During the Sakura Nights fully-bloomed cherry blossoms are lit up, creating an enchanting atmosphere. You can also ride the attractions while taking in the beautiful scenery.

Nakano-dori  中野通り

About 300 blooming cherry trees extend for 2 kilometers from Nakano Station’s North Exit, through the grounds of Araiyakushi, and to Shin Ome-kaido. Once you’re at Nakano-dori, you can’t miss the beautiful row of cherry trees that attract the beholder at the first sight. This is the time of the season to be in Tokyo for a feast of colors and fragrance.

Kameido Tenjin Wisteria Light Up  亀戸天神

Romantic purple blooms of wisteria usually come out at the end of April in Japan. Kameido Tenjin has 15 trellises full of wisteria, with the longest flower shoot reaching 1.5 meters. During the festival period, the wisteria are lit up at night, creating a fantasy-like atmosphere different from day time.

Rainbow Bridge  レインボーブリッジ

Odaiba has a 115-meter tall Ferris wheel with a spectacular view of the illuminated Rainbow Bridge. To get a closer look at the magnificent Rainbow Bridge, you can take the Rainbow Promenade walkway which connects the Odaiba side with the other side. Isn’t it enchanting to see the breathtaking seafront view from the Shibaura side? However, the 1.7 walkway takes 20 to 30 minutes on foot.

Wind down with a drink at Yokocho　

Yokocho manners

Yokocho in Japanese literally means “side alley” and refers to a small, winding smoky lane that leads you into another realm of Tokyo where grit rules over grids. Entering a drinking hole along the yokocho for the first time can be daunting, especially if you don’t speak Japanese. Following these simple rules will help make your experience enjoyable:

1. Always order a drink or more to go with your food
2. Don’t invade the counter space of the person next to you
3. Don’t linger after finishing your food—bar hop to the next stop!
4. Do bring enough cash to pay, credit cards are often not accepted]
