Shibuya Sakuragaoka Sakura Matsuri

Cherry blossom viewing isn’t just limited to the daytime. Just a five-minute walk from the west exit of Shibuya Station is Sakurazaka, a winding street lined with beautiful cherry blossom trees that are illuminated each evening with pink lights and 250 pink lanterns from March 27 to April 3. The around 30-or-so somei-yoshino trees along the 200-metre road reach peak bloom from late March to early April.

Sakurazaka's cherry blossom illuminations run from March 27 to April 3.
