I visited in April when most other places' cherry blossoms were already gone, but there were still plenty blooming at Shinjuku Gyoen. Many of the trees were still in full bloom and looked really impressive.

Izumi Park Town Tapio
A lifestyle-oriented shopping complex featuring around 80 diverse stores and restaurants, spanning fashion, culture, and gourmet offerings. Located in Izumi Park Town, a new residential area in Sendai’s Izumi Ward, the mall attracts visitors who also enjoy the adjacent Sendai Izumi Premium Outlets for shopping and dining.
There’s a great variety of stores here, from clothing to home goods. The food court is awesome, with both Japanese and Western restaurants. I left super satisfied.

Narita City Sakura no Yama
The Park sits on the northside of Narita Airport’s runways, offering a close view of airplanes as they take off and land. The location known as “The hill with a plane view” is featured in TV shows, popular among photographers and tourists.
The park is on a small hill near the airport, so you can watch planes take off and land up close. If you come at the right season, there are over 300 cherry trees, and there's even a Sakura Hall inside the park.
