Prime Spot to View Tokyo Tower and Cherry Blossoms

📍Shiba Park, Zojoji Temple Nestled in the Minato ward, with the iconic Tokyo Tower standing tall in its vicinity, Zojoji Temple is a renowned sanctuary of tranquility. This historic site, dating back 600 years, is also the final resting place of six shoguns from the Tokugawa family. On a day when the weeping cherry blossoms were in their eighth bloom, I found myself in this place of profound charm. As it was a weekday, the crowd was sparse, making the experience even more serene. The sight of the blossoms, at their near peak, was breathtaking, and I can only imagine the spectacle they would present in full bloom or when they begin to fall. Within the temple grounds, the weeping cherry trees and Somei Yoshino cherry trees create a stunning spectacle. The Shiba Park surrounding the temple also boasts Somei Yoshino cherry trees, offering a delightful collaboration of Tokyo Tower and cherry blossoms for an extended period. Incredibly, the temple grounds are home to nearly 200 cherry trees of various types! It's truly a sight to behold. The best time to visit is typically from late March to early April. 🌸Types of Cherry Blossoms: Somei Yoshino, Weeping Cherry, Edohiganzakura, Yuten Cherry, Koshihigan, etc. ⏰Hours: Main Shrine 6:00-17:00, Ankoku-den 9:00-17:00 💴Admission: Free 📍Zojoji Temple, 4-7-35 Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-0011
