Swooon. Japan in spring has officially blown my mind. This wasn’t my first spring in Japan but it was my first time in prime cherry blossom season. Happy to report it exceeded all expectations. Most of my writing and photos I will share closer to next season, but I couldn’t let spring pass without posting a little about this epic season. I never knew the Cherry blossoms in Yokohama (and Tokyo) would be this spectacular! I am all for beautiful flowers, but I have never had them take my breath away. Mother nature was showing off big time. If you follow me on instagram, you most likely saw me drooling over this place and many others.

Cherry Blossoms in Yokohama

Some fellow bloggers and I went off the beaten path to an area close to Yokohama before the season was over. We were welcomed with stunning rows of tulips and a roof of Sakura above our heads. Dreamy is really the only way to describe it. The perfect setting to spread out and having the most beautiful (and yummy) picnic. After many photos and admiring of the flowers, we headed to the Sankei-en garden. This garden is only open past closing hours for one week during Cherry Blossom season for the illuminations on the Sakura. Lines of Tripods had already staked their place to get the perfect sunset and night photo.

Hope you love these photos from our perfect day of Sakura viewing. Whether you are looking for Cherry blossoms in Yokohama or beyond, may your day be as magical as this one! May we all have days with good friends like this every once in awhile 🙂
