Daigakudori Street

Reviewed By AndraYo - Tokyo, Japan

Massive Mature Sakura line this street (dori) from 90-Year-Old Hitotsubashi University (Daigaku) to the Southside of Kunitachi Station (Newly renovated) in a GLORIOUS Springtime Show! Every year we try to time the Sakura, as it is really one of Tokyo's Best Pleasures. Drive through, walk around the double-lined Boulevard, or spend all day-just a wonderful time. Should be early in 2021. Lots of nice shops, bookstores, cafes, great atmosphere. No Admission. No Festivals or Drinking Parties this year... Don't miss Kinokuniya International Supermarket- great selection of items from abroad but also Japanese things for souvenirs.

Hikawa Valley

Reviewed By ToruO - Setagaya, Japan

Easily accessible from Okutama-machi station. People were camping by the river, despite the Sunday evening. But I can relate, as the sight of autumn leaves are utterly beautiful. If you plan to come by car, there's parking near the camping grounds, which cost at least 700 yen. If you want to park overnight, ask for their rates.

Inokashira Onshi Park

Reviewed By emmacJ6282WU - Oxford, United Kingdom

I thought this park was beautiful. The area was very trendy with lots of boutiques and interesting shops and the park was full of autumn colour, ducks, fish and just local people hanging out in a park. I thought it was a lovely place to see how Tokyo folk spend their days. Really nice!! It's only 5 mins walk from the station.

Visiting Saitama was an incredible experience made better by swinging by the Bonsai Museum. Mind blowing collection of trees and history in a quiet and calming location. Could have easily spent the whole day there sitting and enjoying the ambiance.
