Koganei Fiori Fiorista

Just west of Tokyo lies Kohanei, which is in the perfect place from which to explore the whole area. Koganei itself is probably most interesting for the beautiful Koganei Park. There are over two thousand beautiful cherry trees here, so the park is known across Tokyo as one of the most spectacular places in which to view the blossoms during the spring season. About twenty minutes from Koganei lies Chofu which is home to the fantastic Jindai Botanic Gardens! Spread over one hundred acres and with an enormous rose garden, the park is the place to be to see some beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring months. The park also features a lovely tulip garden, as well as some stunning displays of azaleas. The Japanese Apricot Garden is also pretty in the spring, and the gardens are also home to the Centre for Plant Diversity for those who want to know more about local species of plants and flowers. Also within a thirty minute drive is the Meguro River which during the cherry blossom festival is another great place to head to for a picturesque walk through the falling blossoms – a favourite pastime of locals and visitors alike. The Meguro Sky Garden is also a wonderful place to explore, admire the architecture and welcome some green space and tranquillity when in the area.
