Many of Tokyo’s top cherry blossom spots host annual festivals for a week or two around mid-bloom (usually falling over two weekends). Festivals mean food, drinks, and lots of people. Remember, these events will be a little quieter during the week, if crowds are not your jam. If you’re really not willing to risk the crowds, check out our guide to alternative ways to hanami here.
