Kioi Spring at Tokyo Garden Terrace

This green oasis in the centre of Tokyo has cherry blossom trees in full bloom along the Benkei Moat. Visit in the evening between March 10 and April 16 to enjoy the pastel pink blossoms all lit up, with the colour reflecting beautifully off the water below. And if you’re lucky, you’ll even get to see the trees illuminated in rainbow colours for four minutes at 7pm, 8pm and 9pm every Friday. Tokyo Garden Terrace is open to the public and entirely free to visit, so you can take a casual stroll around the trees.
