Yoyogi Park, one of Tokyo’s largest urban parks, offered a lively and spirited hanami experience this year.
Although this year’s cherry blossom season had been mostly cloudy and rainy, the sun came out on this day, casting a warm light over the trees in full bloom. The contrast between the delicate pink petals and the bright spring sunshine created a vibrant, cheerful atmosphere.
The park’s spacious lawns, wooded paths, and open plazas were filled with people enjoying picnics and conversation. It wasn’t just the blossoms that were in full bloom, so was the mood of the crowd. There was a sense of shared joy in the air, as friends, families, and visitors from around the world gathered beneath the trees.
Captured with the GR III, these photos reflect the lively side of hanami at Yoyogi Park, where nature and community come together in celebration. ■
