Showa Memorial Park (昭和記念公園)

Showa Memorial Park is one of the most breathtaking cherry blossom locations in Tokyo, offering a vast and beautifully landscaped space filled with over 1,500 sakura trees. Located in Tachikawa, this park is a bit farther from central Tokyo but well worth the trip. The park is massive, featuring lakes, cycling paths, flower fields, and even a Japanese garden, making it a perfect destination for a full-day hanami experience. During cherry blossom season, visitors can enjoy picnicking under the trees, renting bicycles to explore the park, or taking a relaxing boat ride. The variety of cherry trees ensures a longer bloom period compared to other spots. While it can get busy on weekends, the park’s size ensures you can always find a peaceful spot. If you're looking for a scenic, family-friendly, and activity-filled hanami experience, Showa Memorial Park is one of the best places to visit.
