Sakura Sensation

The magnificent Hotel Chinzanso in Bunkyo is one of the top hidden cherry blossom-viewing spots in Tokyo. Boasting 21 kinds and a total of 120 cherry trees, the Japanese garden here is usually bursting with colours from the end of February to the middle of April, and is best experienced with a hot drink in hand. The hotel also offers special room deals, buffet menus and sakura sweets during this period, so look no further if you want to get away from the rowdy hanami parties going on all over the city in spring.
