Basic Info.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Park is the go-to spot for cherry blossom viewing. It has about 1100 cherry trees of 65 different species. The variation in species makes it possible to enjoy cherry blossoms from late February to late April. We recommend taking a picture of the cherry blossoms with the French Formal Garden, or with the skyscrapers of Shinjuku.
