Beautiful photography - Tokyo cherry blossom season

Areas to see cherry blossoms and stay away from the crowds

Hamarikyu Garden (Shimbashi, Shiodome, Hamamatsucho and Shinagawa): This beautiful garden by the bay near Shiodome and Shimbashi stations has enough space to attract many people without feeling crowded. And there are some gorgeous trees here.

Aoyama Cemetery (Harajuku and Aoyama) : Located halfway between Roppongi and Harajuku, near Gaienmae station on the Ginza subway line, this cemetery has some pretty cherry trees. Here parties and picnics are not allowed.

Kitanomaru-koen Park (Imperial Palace District) : At the northern end of the Imperial Palace, not far from Kudanshita Station, this spacious park is a great place to enjoy peaceful cherry blossom viewing. And don't miss the nearby Yasukuni-jinja Shrine, which also has some pretty trees.

Zojo-ji Temple (Shimbashi, Shiodome, Hamamatsucho, and Shinagawa) : In the shadow of Tokyo Tower, this massive shrine has a number of actual trees scattered throughout its grounds. The surrounding Shiba-koen Park is also home to some great cherry trees.
