1Day Tokyo Cherry Blossoms Tour including Lunch Box

After meeting your tour conductor, you will board the bus and begin your journey to Ueno Onshi Park, one of Tokyo’s most iconic cherry blossom locations. The park has been loved since the Edo period, and today nearly 800 cherry trees line its pathways, creating a wide, impressive canopy of pink in spring. As you stroll freely through the park, you will find lively walkways, serene ponds, and traditional structures that make Ueno a perfect introduction to the city’s cherry blossom culture. The atmosphere offers a blend of history and celebration as both locals and travelers gather to admire the trees, which typically bloom from late March to early April. The beauty of Ueno’s long cherry‑lined alleys leaves a lasting impression, especially for first‑time sakura visitors.

Your next stop is Sumida Park, a picturesque riverside promenade offering sweeping cherry blossom views along the Sumida River. The contrast between the gentle blossoms and the urban skyline creates a distinctly Tokyo-style spring scene. The paths are easy to walk, and the riverbanks provide spacious viewpoints where you can enjoy an unhurried look at the trees. With long rows of sakura stretching along the water, this area has been a favored blossom‑viewing spot for generations. It is an ideal place to take photos and soak in the feeling of spring at the heart of the city.

Your visit continues in Asakusa, one of Tokyo’s most atmospheric districts. This area combines traditions, temples, and lively streets, offering a cultural highlight during the cherry blossom season. Enjoy ample free time to explore Sensoji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest temple, where the striking Thunder Gate and five‑story pagoda create a powerful sense of history. Walk along Nakamise Shopping Street, famous for its colorful shops selling traditional snacks, handmade crafts, souvenirs, and sweets. The area is especially charming during spring, with seasonal touches and a festive atmosphere.
A delicious beef bento from Asakusa Imahan is also included, allowing you to enjoy a famous local flavor during your visit. Whether you prefer a spiritual moment at the temple, shopping for gifts, or simply wandering through the charming district, Asakusa offers many ways to enjoy your time.

Next, you will arrive at Yasukuni Shrine, known for its stately atmosphere and significant role in Tokyo’s spring season. The shrine grounds feature approximately 500 cherry trees, including the famous Somei-Yoshino “sample tree”, used each year to announce Tokyo’s official sakura bloom. This makes the location especially meaningful for cherry blossom lovers. Wide walkways and open spaces allow you to appreciate the blossoms at a comfortable pace as you explore the historic precincts. The shrine’s combination of tradition and natural beauty makes it a memorable stop for appreciating the depth of Japan’s spring culture.

Your journey continues to Chidorigafuchi, one of Tokyo’s most beloved cherry blossom destinations. Long rows of trees stretch along the moat of the Imperial Palace, forming a breathtaking corridor of pink blossoms reflected in the calm water below. Many travelers consider this one of the most impressive sakura views in the city, and it is especially popular during peak bloom. The walking paths offer countless photo spots and quiet moments to enjoy the scenery. Chidorigafuchi is often regarded as a must‑see cherry blossom location for anyone visiting Tokyo in spring.
