What travelers think of our Japan experiences
What you’ll do
During the cherry blossom season, Yokohama transforms into something from a fairytale. Seaside promenades become blanketed in petals as thousands of sakura trees burst into bloom. The promise of new beginnings is breathed into the city as locals celebrate at hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties.
You might lay out a picnic of exciting snacks from an unassuming konbini convenience store on the lawns of Negishi Forest Park, or maybe you’ll join the crowds at stunning Sankeien. This tranquil Japanese-style garden houses several historic buildings across Japan and 300 trees. Or, if you’re keen to move away from the busy city center, over 1000 trees await a train ride away at Mitsuike Park, one of Japan’s top hanami locations.
