Sakura (cherry blossoms) are not only Japan's most famous flower but are surely its most beloved as well. For that reason, these trees are planted all over the country, even in the heart of a bustling metropolis like Tokyo. If you're looking for a good section of the city to enjoy the sight of these floral trees, Shibakoen is a great place to start. With the perfect mixture of modern architecture and the natural beauty of the sakura, a walk around this pleasant area will not disappoint.

One of the best hotels in Tokyo and certainly in Shibakoen is the lovely The Prince Park Tower Tokyo. It is even more lovely viewed beneath the shade of the sakura.

Many cities may have trees and parks mixed with skyscrapers. But Tokyo is one of the view that can boast cherry blossoms as well. As you can see, it makes for an impressive view.

With ancient structures and new buildings, old and new meet in Shibakoen.

With many modern buildings around the Shibakoen area, there's plenty of contrast with the natural beauty of the cherry blossoms.

Close up or far away, the beauty of the sakura is unrivaled.

Although the somei yoshino type of cherry blossoms are the most famous, there are many different kinds and some of these can be found around Shibakoen.

Early in the morning during cherry blossom season, businesses send out young employees to prepare for hanami (flower viewing) parties much later in the day.

Since it is just next door, almost anywhere you walk around Shibakoen the sight of the Tokyo Tower can be enjoyed. Especially between a curtain of sakura it is indeed a beautiful sight that you can only see in Japan.
