Finding a nice place to enjoy flower-viewing and the beautiful cherry blossoms in a safe, quiet environment can be easier said than done.

If you plan on taking a break and avoiding the crowded streets of Tokyo for a bit of calm and stunning views of the sakura trees, then Hotel New Otani is the way to go.

The 5-star hotel is a perfect location for some quiet time that also disposes of great facilities, a peaceful garden, and splendid views.

With the Sakura season, they came up with two plans starting from the end of March that allow the visitors to visit famous blossom locations in Tokyo while avoiding the crowds.

New Otani's Japanese garden also has around 58 cherry blossom trees and approximately 19 species that bloom annually and fill the place with colors and beautiful pink tones.

Enjoy a Rickshaw/ Taxi Blossom-viewing Private Tour

Hotel New Otani has many hanami spots surrounding it, and this spring, they also came up with a cherry-blossom viewing private tour for their guests.

The plans include a rickshaw tour or a taxi tour that will get you to the splendid spots to enjoy the Sakura trees and some of Tokyo's famous locations such as Yasukuni Shrine, Tokyo Tower, etc.

You will also have a private guide, and you can choose from the day tour or the night one.

After experiencing their unique hanami plan, you can choose to stay in one of their New Edo Rooms (shin edo rūmu / 新江戸ルーム).

All have Japanese cypress wood bathtubs (hinokiburo 檜風呂) incorporated, and you can take your time to relax after a long day while experiencing a part of the Japanese culture.
