Cherry Blossoms Take Center Stage Late March Through April

Immerse yourself in a breathtaking display of nature’s beauty at Spring Flowers at Showa Kinen Park, a captivating Tokyo events in April, where vibrant blossoms create a stunning floral wonderland.

The enduring cherry blossoms, synonymous with Japan’s spring season, offer the first wave of floral beauty at Tachikawa’s Showa Kinen Park. These Somei Yoshino blossoms capture masses of global admirers every year from late March to early April in the park’s aptly named Cherry Blossom Garden (桜の園).

Known for their temporary nature, these captivating beauties do not last longer than a few weeks. However, cherry tree admirers who missed this spectacle at its pinnacle will find other visually stunning floral displays throughout the entire spring season extending from late March up to May.

Diverse Spectrum of Flowers Dot the Landscape

Flower enthusiasts can expect more than just cherry blossoms at Showa Kinen Park. The garden’s diverse landscape becomes a palette of color as various flowers take their turn in blooming. Rape blossoms paint the Flower Garden East (東花畑) a riot of yellow from early to late April, around the same time when tulips begin to unfold their multi-hued petals in the Serpentine Area (渓流広場).

By early April through mid-May, a blanket of Nemophila decorates Herb Hill (ハーブの丘). Later in May, vivid color pops out around Flower Hill (花の丘) when red poppies sway with the blowing wind and Flower Garden South (南花畑) transforms into a “Bouquet Garden” due to a medley of flowering plants.

Tulips, often associated with Holland’s picturesque scenery, provide an eye-pleasing view at Showa Kinen Park too. A visit here is almost akin to witnessing expansive football fields filled with energetic blooms set amidst the scenic aura of a windmill.

A Sprawling National Park with Captivating Scenery

Showa Kinen Park is an ideal place for nature lovers looking to explore spring flowers within Tokyo’s vicinity. Covering approximately 165 hectares, it is Tokyo’s largest national park offering breathtaking glimpses of resplendent spring flora and many recreational options.
