Spring Flowers You Can See in Tokyo

Plum blossoms bloom before sakura and have a sweet fragrance. They are slightly rounder and more delicate-looking than cherry blossoms.

Where to see them:

• Yushima Tenjin Shrine (Bunkyo)

• Koishikawa Korakuen Garden

Perfect if you visit Tokyo in late winter or very early spring.

3. Tulips

Blooming: April – May

Bright and colorful tulips fill large open gardens once cherry blossom season ends.

Best spot:

• Showa Memorial Park (Tachikawa)

Thousands of tulips bloom in neat rows, creating a rainbow-like landscape.

 4. Wisteria (Fuji)

Blooming: Late April – Early May

Wisteria flowers hang down in soft purple and white clusters, forming beautiful flower tunnels.

Where in Tokyo:

• Kameido Tenjin Shrine (Koto Ward)

This shrine is famous for its wisteria festival and evening illuminations.

 5. Azaleas (Tsutsuji)

Blooming: April – May

Azaleas bloom in bright pink, red, and white. You’ll see them in many parks and temple gardens.

Best viewing spot:

• Nezu Shrine (Bunkyo)

The hillside covered with thousands of azalea bushes is one of Tokyo’s hidden spring gems.

6. Nemophila

Blooming: April – May

Small sky-blue flowers that look like tiny pieces of the sky.

In Tokyo:

• Showa Memorial Park

While the most famous fields are outside Tokyo, you can still see beautiful patches within the city.

7. Rapeseed Flowers (Nanohana)

Blooming: March – April

Bright yellow flowers that often bloom alongside cherry blossoms.

Where to see them:

• Riverside parks and open fields around Tokyo

They create a stunning contrast with pink sakura trees.

When to Visit for Each Flower

Spring in Tokyo lasts longer than just sakura season. Even after the cherry blossoms fall, the city continues blooming in waves of color.
