Hamarikyu Garden’s are nestled between the famous Tsukiji Fish Market and the world renowned Ginza shopping discreet  of Tokyo. The park has a highly concentrated amount of somei yoshino (Prunus yedoensis) sakura trees, which are accented by several large ponds and a salt water moat. This photo op sets an amazing tone for the remarkable cherry blossoms which you can enjoy in the Japan’s metropolitan center, and many ‘sakura reports’ have predicted when these cherry blossom trees will burst into bloom, but if you simply go on a whimsy and you see full bloom sakura, go buy a lottery ticket because you will never be luckier!
Some people consider Ueno Park to be the premiere cherry blossom viewing area in all of Japan because of the number and variety of cherry blossoms that the park holds. To name a few varieties, there are the Somei yoshino, Kanhi zakura or Winter Scarlet Cherry (Prunus campanulata), and shidarezakura or Weeping sakura (Prunus pendula). The sakura trees are meticulously groomed and ready for viewing.  Some of the park grounds have cherry blossoms so densely blossoming that the sky turns from azure to a brilliant pink with all the blossoms fluttering in the mild winds of spring. The park has more than 1,000 trees in more than 500,000 square meters of protected park land, so there will be ample photo ops for you, but you will be competing with thousands of other visitors to get gallery worthy photos.
