Rikugien Cherry Blossom Illumination

Rikugien is often considered one of Tokyo’s most gorgeous landscape gardens, featuring a traditional Edo period (1603-1868) aesthetic. Its huge cherry trees, including the majestic weeping variety, along with the rest of the Japanese garden will be lit up in the evening from March 23 to 29. To make the most of the season, the park will also stay open later than usual until 9pm (last entry 8.30pm). You can purchase tickets on the day for ¥1,100, or get a ¥200 discount if you buy them online in advance.
