Tokyo Hidden Cherry Blossom Route | Moto-Arakawa & Kumagaya Sakura Tsutsumi (with Travel Tips)

#cherryblossom25 Today I went to Moto-Arakawa’s cherry blossom path — both sides of the riverbank stretch out for several kilometers with giant cherry trees. Best part? Hardly any people!! It truly felt like I had the whole of spring to myself. I was overjoyed 🥹 At first, when I got off and walked to the riverside, it was a bit crowded and the blossoms weren’t fully in bloom — I worried I’d come all this way for nothing. But the further I walked, the better it got: fewer people, denser blossoms, more serene atmosphere. There are bridges and stone steps along the way, perfect for sitting down, enjoying a picnic, or taking dreamy photos. The vibes? Immaculate 💕 If you have more time, definitely check out Kumagaya Sakura Tsutsumi too — it’s just two train stops away, about 10–15 minutes. There, you’ll find a jaw-dropping combo of pink cherry blossoms and golden rapeseed flowers, like something straight out of a springtime fairy tale. With 500 blooming Somei Yoshino cherry trees, the wind carries petals like snow — every photo looks like a scene from a movie 🎥💮 When I went, there were food stalls and lots of students in school uniforms enjoying the spring afternoon — super wholesome atmosphere. According to the official website, the stalls and event will end this weekend so go while you can! #travel
