Japan has a myriad of fun ways to appreciate the best of cherry blossom season, from hanami picnics to sakura-themed foods popping up at convenience stores and supermarkets. A unique, self-care inspired way to enjoy the blooms is at the Sakura Yoga event in Tokyo, which originally started in Osaka back in 2018.
This is a paid event, with two different entry tiers available – the Sakura Yoga lesson (4400 JPY, women only) or the Yoga for Everyone pass (1650 JPY, all genders eligible). More information on ticketing and what's included with each type of entry pass can be found on the official event website.
