2. Yoyogi Park 

Yoyogi Park
@AmericanCoffee
As the third-largest green space in Tokyo, Yoyogi Park is wonderfully positioned near inner-city hotspots like Harajuku and Shibuya. When the sakura season arrives, approximately 730 sakura trees are covered in soft pastel colors. Yoyogi Park is a popular outdoor destination all year round, but springtime weather takes things to the next level. Although finding enough space for a picnic can be a little challenging near the various entrances, heading deeper into the park to its vast lake ensures you have space to roll out your blanket and relish the nearby sakura. Avoid weekends.

Famous for its stunning cherry blossom-lined canal, Meguro River is a must-visit, especially during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Nakameguro turns the lights on after dark, trees are illuminated and festive food and drinks are on sale along the river. It can get very crowed at times. LOCATION: Between Naka-meguro station and Meguro Station
