By a stroke of immense good fortune (as opposed to good planning) we stumbled upon the garden at Kanda Myojin today. I haven't been there in sakura season & it's a hidden gem.
 |
| Downstairs ... a very ordinary carpark and vending machine / smoking area. |
 |
| Upstairs you can hardly imagine you're 10 mins walk from the bustle of Akihabara. |
 |
| Unlike a lot of hanami places, it's not mono species. The various japonica, peaches etc make it a colourful delight. |
 |
| A particularly striking peach. |
 |
| Pathways through the garden |
 |
| Not Kanda myojin, but perhaps Suwa Temple - I didn't' note the name but it's between Nishi Nippori and Nippori along the train tracks. |
Kanda Myojin is one of Tokyo's most famous. There are some very good websites dedicated to it. This is arguably the best:
