Sakurazaka standing in the streets of Tokyo is a hidden gem that fills with lovely cherry blossoms in spring. It is a scenic spot where you can enjoy the urban charm of Japan.
Sakurazaka is a cobblestone slope opened in the Meiji era. It harmonizes well with the western-style buildings on both sides, exuding a retro atmosphere. During the cherry blossom season, the scenery of pink petals dancing in the wind spreads out before your eyes. The cherry blossom tunnel, shining in the afternoon sunlight, is a sight to behold.
Sakurazaka has a legend of the "phoenix cherry blossom" that survived the war. Once, there was a huge old cherry tree on the middle of the slope, but it was burned down in the air raid of World War II. However, afterwards, new buds sprouted from the roots, giving birth to the current cherry blossom avenue. The cherry tree, reborn from the war, symbolizes the strong spirit of the Japanese people.
The surroundings of Sakurazaka are filled with long-established Japanese traditional sweets shops and izakayas. It's recommended to stop by during a walk and enjoy the unique atmosphere typical of Tokyo. It's also a great pleasure to savor the authentic taste that resonates in the hearts of the Japanese people while gazing at the beautiful cherry blossoms.
