[Cherry Blossoms - Peak Viewing] Yasukuni Shrine

The cherry blossoms of Yasukuni are said to have begun with the cherry trees planted in this area of Kudan the year after Yasukuni Shrine was founded as a spirit-receiving shrine (3rd year of Meiji). Currently, about 500 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino, mountain cherries, and double-flowered cherries, are in full bloom within the shrine grounds. There is a designated cherry blossom specimen tree by the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory, and it has long been famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot. Night cherry blossom events will be held from March 27 (Thursday) to March 29 (Saturday) from 6 PM to 8 PM; for more details, please refer to the website. ■Notes Night cherry blossom viewing, ritual night cherry blossom Noh, and ritual performances are planned.
