There’s something so magical about Japan in cherry blossom season. The pink clouds of blossoms transform cities into something out of a storybook—and experiencing it with your family makes it even more unforgettable. From jaw-dropping scenery to world-class food and family-friendly activities, Japan ticks all the boxes.


Tokyo: Your Starting Point for Sakura Season


Tokyo is the perfect launchpad for your cherry blossom adventure. It’s a city where ultra-modern attractions meet serene, natural beauty. If you’re looking for a great family base, Shinjuku is a top pick. The area is lively, well-connected, and home to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden—a cherry blossom haven where kids can run free while you relax under the blooms with a picnic.


Exploring Tokyo for the first time? Let me take the stress out of it for you. We can book you an amazing guide for your first day who’ll get you set up with everything from train tickets to sightseeing plans. They’ll help you navigate the city like a pro, taking you to all the highlights without the guesswork.




Tokyo’s Family Favorites


1. Asakusa:

Step back in time at the historic Senso-ji Temple, then wander down Nakamise Street for souvenirs and snacks the kids will love. Cherry blossoms along Sumida Park provide the perfect backdrop for family photos.


2. Shibuya:

Shibuya Crossing is an adventure in itself—kids will be amazed by the sea of people weaving through the lights. Nearby, Shibuya Sky offers panoramic views of Tokyo, and Yoyogi Park is a family favorite for cherry blossom picnics.


3. Tokyo Skytree:

Head up to the observation deck for jaw-dropping views across the city. The blossoms in spring make it even more special, and the shopping and dining options below are a bonus.


4. TeamLab Planets Tokyo:

This immersive art experience is a hit with families. Think light-filled rooms, interactive installations, and enough wonder to keep everyone captivated.




A Touch of Magic: Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea


For Disney fans, Tokyo Disneyland or DisneySea is an experience like no other. Located in Tokyo Bay, these parks add a touch of extra magic to your trip. DisneySea, unique to Japan, features themed ports and attractions that adults enjoy just as much as the kids. Staying nearby for a couple of nights makes it all the more convenient.


Osaka: Cherry Blossoms and Big Adventures


If you’re up for a second city, hop on the bullet train to Osaka. It’s family-friendly, full of charm, and just as stunning in Sakura season. The iconic Osaka Castle is surrounded by cherry trees that look incredible day or night.


Thrill-seekers? Universal Studios Japan is a favorite with its Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World. For little ones, Legoland Discovery Center Osaka offers endless fun.


Family-Friendly Accommodation That Fits


Finding family accommodation in Japan can be tricky. Rooms often have two single beds that are smaller than Western standards and squeezing in doesn’t always work. But don’t worry—I know the best family-friendly options that make things comfy and convenient, even for larger groups. Let me find the perfect fit for you.


A family trip to Japan during cherry blossom season is nothing short of magical. From the beauty of the blooms to the rich culture and kid-approved activities, it’s an adventure you’ll talk about for years to come.


Ready to make it happen? Let me take care of the details so you can focus on making memories.
