so in this video I'm gonna show you by
top places to watch cherry blossoms in
Tokyo Tokyo has so many places to watch
cherry blossoms and I wanted to show you
guys my favorite places the one thing
about Tokyo is there's cherry blossoms
everywhere on just a regular random
streets so don't worry if you come to
Tokyo during this season you'll
definitely find some cherry blossoms but
there's actually some designated spots
that we can go and I'm gonna take you to
all of them
let's go cuz I'm excited to show you
where my favorite spots are number one
samhita Park with about 1,000 cherry
blossom trees on both sides of Sumida
River this is definitely one of my top
spots to hana me in case you didn't know
Hana and Japanese means flower and me
means watch get it
Hana me this spot is so super cool look
I got sky to you right then I get the
cherry blossoms right here it's amazing
where I'm standing is Sumita Park and
what's cool about it is that it runs
right along the river so you can go days
and days checking out cherry blossom and
if you want a super unique experience
they have a ton of boats and you can get
on it right at the river and it goes
down the river
oh and that I mentioned that the sky
dreams right
they're freaking awesome and for those
night owls you can actually come here at
night as well and this place is lit up
and my advice is to chill between cicuta
bridge and a Zuma bridge and right here
you can throw down some picnic sheets
and eat drink and party like Miley all
day long while taking in the cherry
blossoms and the passing rickshaws
[Music]
number two Yoyogi Park and this is a
yogi Park one of the best party spots
are all of Hana me this place is so big
there's so many people that are always
hanging out and on the weekends it's
just a super crazy and one big party but
on the weekdays like today it's actually
not that bad
even though there's a lot of people
there's a plenty of places just to hang
out and if you got little ones then
bring them along because there's just so
much place for them to run around like a
little animals they are there are some
food stalls where you can get the basics
like yakisoba but at this Park I tend to
bring my own food and drink ok so this
is how it looks on the weekend during
Hana me season chaos right and if you've
got a wheelie then be prepared
[Music]
number three Buena Park this spot has
one of the most impactful cherry blossom
views because the trees are just so big
on the main walking path is actually
picnic areas that are set aside it's not
as large as a yogi Park but you're gonna
have a picnic again
and you can drink means you can get
super wasted face all day long oh damn
they made cup holders in the cardboard
boxes ingenious in fact today is a
weekday and it's still pretty crowded
what's also pretty cool is that it just
grinds all around so you can get that
like awesome Japanese field kiyomizu
kannon doh way no toshio-kun bent endo
Hanazono Inari and lots more this is a
good alternative to the yogi Park but
not my fairest because it just feels so
cramped and look at all these food
stalls behind me now the food stalls
that way no is something that I can get
behind
check out the polluter of stalls line up
on the path of the sug enshrine fresh
fish on a stick
diggity dango grilled squid beef skewers
and more and check out everyone getting
their food on and if you get tired of
the cherry blossoms so you can take the
kids to the zoo and for those of you who
are looking for that cultural healing
check out one of the many museums at the
park
number four cheedo tiga Fuji it's right
next to the imperial palace so you can
watch the cherry blossom so right next
to the moat it's pretty freakin awesome
but what's even cooler than that is you
can rent a boat and actually go in the
moat and watch the cherry blossoms from
the water awesome cheedo d Kikuchi has
this crazy ass moat that was made in
1606 at the start of an old buckaroo
the final samurai government in japan
anyway the robots are the main
attraction if you made it this far you
should probably get on otherwise it's
like going to a prime rib buffet and
scarfing down only the soup and salad
but look at this crazy line right behind
me you guys want to come come very very
early or you're gonna be waiting in line
[Music]
number five
yes gonna shrine if you want a shrine
and check out cherry blossoms this is a
place to go and it's walking distance
from judo Dino Fuji so if you want to
visit two places then this is your meal
ticket dope and super dope yes Jenny
shrine has about half a thousand cherry
blossom trees usually there are up to
200 food salts and it's a wicked place
to party but unfortunately it's under
construction this year as it's getting a
makeover for its 150th anniversary by
next year though it should be all
Beyonce it out and just right next to
Yasukuni Shrine you have this street
with all these cherry blossoms look how
beautiful it is
[Music]
number six Shinjuku Gyoen this Hana me
spot is super chill and it's just so
beautiful I just love the wide-open
space look at it it's just like a super
super chill if you come here you will
never worry about finding a spot this is
just like us awesome picnic spots
especially if you have kids because the
kids can just run free and you don't
have to worry about anyone drinking or
being loud and being crazy
one thing about this place and we'll say
you've got 200 yen ever there's no
drinking so if you want to drink then
maybe this is not a place for you guys
and I just love the different variety of
cherry blossoms that they have here they
have really a light color cherry blossom
and they have super super dark cherry
blossoms like kool-aid they're about
1,100 cherry blossom trees and 65
different types definitely worth the
price of admission in my opinion plus
it's not all claustrophobic in this
mother
and inside you can find different types
of gardens like British French Chinese
and Japanese but where's our Conda
[Music]
number 7
yeah a su Sakura Dodie look how
beautiful it's just a regular Street but
you can see the cherry blossoms just
overlapping like it's one huge shelter
over the street but watch out there's
cars like right now this delightful
street is right in the middle of the
business district so you can't picnic
here but there's a bunch of restaurants
and bars you can pop into while checking
out the Sakura and there's a Starbucks
right here you can just sit down get a
latte and chill also it's right in front
of Tokyo Station so if you've got some
time to kill waiting for a train you can
just step outside and check out the
cherry blossoms
number eight imperial palace during
sakura season part of the Imperial
Palace is temporarily open to the public
without having to make reservations
thank you your highness don't mind if I
do
check it out we're in the Imperial
Palace and this is so beautiful here
this is like the perfect picnic area you
can just sit lay down your blankets but
it's just so super manicured that you
can just lie down without having to
worry about getting your clothes dirty
Oh actually I'm looking at that girl's
back right now and it's pretty dirty so
you probably want to have a blanket even
though it's such a big oh yeah it's
super mellow there's not a lot of people
partying or drinking here because it's
prohibited it's just like an overall
place to like bring your kids and just
run around and have a good time well I
didn't even know you're supposed to run
around in the park because it's a park
created that too it also has this cute
Japanese garden inside cherry blossoms
we're not fully bloomed at this time but
the cherry blossoms in the Japanese
garden was merry pop in 9 Meguro River
and this is naka-meguro it's one of my
favorite spots to watch economy what's
really beautiful is how the cherry
blossoms just cascade over the bridge
right over the river this spot is known
as a fashionable area for the
sophisticated you can enjoy easily
spending your disposable income while
walking around so one of the things
about this place is that it's more of a
walking Street as you can look around
there's not a lot of places where you
can sit down
so a lot of people do here is they go to
restaurants or bars and then make
reservations up to one year and
are actually more than one year in
advance and what you can see is that a
lot of the restaurants here cater to
people walking around as an open up
stand so they'll serve drinks and maybe
some snacks and check it out you can
come even in the night what's pretty
cool was they light up the church in
lanterns and they even light up the
cherry blossoms looking behind me it's
just so beautiful the colors just keep
on changing which one is your favorite
color and even at night the shops are
busy and the streets are filled with
people number 10
Riku Ginn Gardens this is rakubian
Gardens and it's one of the cooler night
spots here in Tokyo it's kind of like
this little meandering trail and all the
cherry blossoms are lit up which is
pretty awesome you see folks are coming
Georgia fighting
first of all put on your patient's pants
because check out this line to get in
look I got my 300 yen ticket when you
step inside you'll be welcomed by a
giant cheetah Sakura wish I could
capture its full image but the entire
garden was super dark oh well at least
you can sneak some kisses with your date
but if you don't got someone a crush on
then at least there's food
look at that it's cooking bright on the
charcoal look at that look how big that
is that's amazing mr. Oberg
this is what it's all about having an
ice-cold beer some mochi sitting
underneath the cherry blossoms I love
this season it's awesome all right that
