Some of the Cherry Blossom-viewing Spots in Mitaka City

Inokashira Park
One of Tokyo's best cherry blossom-viewing spots.
International Christian University
A road lined with cherry trees stretches in a straight line for around 600m from the main gate of International Christian University. The trees create a tunnel of cherry blossoms from late March to early April.
Mureno Sato Park
Sidare-zakura (weeping cherry trees), also called Ito-zakura, with low-hanging branches come to full bloom in mid April.
Sengawa Park
Visitors can enjoy viewing the many Yae-zakura (double-flowered cherry trees) with layer upon layer of petals. The blossoms are at their best in mid April.
