Aoyama Cemetery

Aoyama Cemetery might sound like an unusual hanami spot, but it’s actually one of the most peaceful and beautiful places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo. The long, straight pathway lined with sakura trees creates a breathtaking tunnel of pink petals, making it one of the most picturesque spots in the city. Since it’s a cemetery, the atmosphere is much quieter than other cherry blossom locations—there are no food stalls or picnic areas, just a serene, respectful setting where you can appreciate the beauty of the season. The contrast between the historical gravestones and delicate blossoms gives it a unique charm. It’s an especially great spot for photographers looking for a different kind of sakura experience. If you prefer a quiet, reflective cherry blossom viewing without the crowds and noise of popular parks, Aoyama Cemetery is an underrated but stunning place to visit.
