Best Sakura Stops

For a classic first trip, pair Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. In Tokyo, walk Meguro River at dusk, picnic at Ueno Park, and catch Shinjuku Gyoen for variety. In Kyoto, go early to Maruyama Park and Philosopher Path, then visit Arashiyama for a quieter morning. In Osaka, Kema Sakuranomiya Park and Osaka Castle Park deliver big scenery and easy transit.
