One of Tokyo's most famous spots for cherry blossoms is Inokashira Koen. It's unique to most cherry blossom spots because you can enjoy the cherry blossoms from both the picnic areas, and in swan boat rentals. This park is also home to Benzaiten Shrine and Inokashira Park Zoo. Because of how popular it is, it can be a bit difficult to find a picnic spot, and the lines to rent the boats are long so you should try and go as early as you can, and during a weekday.

I made some cherry blossom cookies with pickled cherry blossoms for our picnic. Here is a view of how crowded the picnic spots can get!
