Tokyo cherry blossoms spots for cycling Part 1

It’s a cherry blossoms season!

The popular Sakura, “Somei-Yoshino” cherry blossoms are almost in full bloom in Tokyo.

There are many well known spots such as, Ueno park or Imperial palace, but  we would like to give you some good spots for cycling as well.

The cherry blossom cycling spots we recommend are all close to the central Tokyo area, such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shinagawa.  If you are in the central Tokyo area, please check out!

First, Meguro river.

Meguro river is getting really famous for cherry blossoms recently.

Meguro river runs all the way from Tokyo bay area Tennozu-Isle to Nakameguro and even further.

Many cherry trees are on both sides of this Meguro river.

You can enjoy cycling all the way alongside the river.

 

Second is Yoyogi park.

Yoyogi park is located just behind JR Harajuku station and is well known, yet very big with lots of nature.

There are cycling roads in this park, and you can enjoy cycling as well.

Third is Kamuro zaka Dori street.

This is near Fudo-mae station, Tokyo Meguro line.

From the bottom of this street, you can enjoy the tunnel of cherry blossoms as you go up the street.

After passing Somei Yoshino Sakura trees, dark pink Sakura “Kawazu Zakura” cherry blossoms appear.

Fourth is “Tachiaigawa Green Way” in Nishi- Koyama area.

This street is not far from Kamuro Zaka Dori street.

It’s located near Nishi Koyama station, Tokyu Meguro line.
