Kuramae

Tokyo

The gorgeous bright pink cherry blossoms that bloom right at the entrance of Kuramae Shrine. They are a cherry blossom that blooms early, a few weeks ahead of the more common Somei-yoshino cherry blossoms. One of the great things about this season is that you can enjoy different types of cherry blossoms at different times of the season. So if you think you're too early/late for the Somei-yoshino blooms, walk around the city and you will find at least a few cherry trees in full bloom! Closest Station: Kuramae Station on the Toei Oedo Line.

Kuramae
Kuramae Shrine is surrounded by high-rise apartments but still makes a statement, especially this time of year with the gorgeous sakura in full bloom. The locals call these cherry blossoms "Kuramae Sakura," although I'm pretty sure they are a type of yama-zakura. I like that they are so fond of these blossoms that they named it :) Location: Kuramae Station on the Toei Oedo Line. For a Tokyoite, it's just a short walk from Asakusa or Ueno.

A great hotel on 2F which has covered accessibility to Terminal 3. Room was clean and quiet, great soundproofing. Highly recommend for anyone travelling through Haneda. Much easier than trying to squeeze onto the trains with your bags in rush hour.
