Sankeien in Yokohama is a traditional Japanese garden that houses an impressive three-storey pagoda from Kyoto and a mansion that once belonged to a daimyo lord. In spring, you can enjoy a scenic sight featuring nine different kinds of cherry blossom trees, numbering 250 in total, that bloom from late March.
Come by between March 23 and April 2 to catch a special light-up event after dark from 6.30pm to 9pm. The garden will be open until 9pm, but some paths, including the one that leads to the three-story pagoda, will be closed after 5pm. To see the sakura light-up, you need to pay the entrance fee of ¥700 (children ¥200).
