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 now and April 15 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 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, 9pm and 10pm. Tokyo Garden Terrace is open to the public and entirely free to visit, so you can take a casual stroll around the trees.

The festival will also feature a vibrant flower carpet depicting an ukiyo-e portrait, made with real flower petals, from April 10 to April 13 at the first floor Kioi Terrace Flower Plaza. Visit on the first day to take part in the making of the floral art event. For more information on the event and other workshops, check the event website.
