Cherry blossoms are fleeting by their very nature, with the exact date of blooming affected by many factors. If you’re not around to see the blossoms in person, or if you want to get a different perspective, this interactive sakura experience at Konica Minolta planetariums in Yurakucho, Ikebukuro, Oshiage and Yokohama is worth checking out.
During the event, you can enjoy 360-degree cherry blossom views in ultra-high 4K or 8K resolution while you lay back on cosy cloud-like lounge sofas. It's fine to take photos during this ten-minute cherry blossom display, which takes place before the planetarium's regular screenings.
If you're heading to the Yurakucho or Yokohama planetariums, you can add a decadent sakura peach latte (¥770) to your experience. It's topped with a hint of sakura flavour and a generous serving of whipped cream.
