Ueno Park is a super popular spot in Tokyo for cherry blossom viewing. During sakura season, it's packed with people—sometimes it's so crowded you can barely move! Lots of folks sit under the cherry trees, having picnics and enjoying the blossoms. When the wind blows, you can see a shower of petals. It's really beautiful.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is the symbol of Kamakura, located in the heart of the city. It is frequented by many worshipers as a shrine related to Minamoto no Yorimoto, the founder of the Kamakura shogunate. The current main shrine, which was built in 1828, has been designated as an Important Cultural Asset of Japan.
Watching the sunset over Enoshima from the Shonan coast, with the sea breeze blowing, feels so relaxing.

Susukino
Susukino is one of the most famous entertainment districts in Sapporo. Along with Kabukicho in Shinjuku and Nakasu in Fukuoka, Susukino is called one of the "three central entertainment districts in Japan.
Susukino is super lively at night! After enjoying some Japanese BBQ and eel rice, I went shopping at Tanukikoji and even rode the Ferris wheel.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Shinjuku Gyoen once stood as an estate of the Naito family, the hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa family in the Edo period before being established as an imperial garden in 1906.
It's pretty rare to find such a huge field of flowers right in the middle of a busy city. The gardens are really well maintained, and the entrance fee is only 200 yen—such a great deal!
