Searching for Cherry Blossoms
Searching for Sakura
I totally slept thru dinner last night so I was starving this morning. But so excited to find the Tokyo outpost of my beloved Buvette just a 7 minute walk from my hotel. So yummy. Then it was off in search of cherry blossoms with my local guide Steven. We struck out at a couple locations including Ueno Park but did find some success at beautiful Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Then back to the hotel and a quick lunch at nearby Tenichi Tempura, before heading to Narita and my 6:30pm Singapore Airlines flight to LAX.
What a treat!
Just like Paris,
So yummy!
With persistent chilly Toyko spring weather, I was really 7-10 days too early for peak blossoms.
Ueno Park is ready, just not the cherry blossoms.
The best and nicest venue was Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.
Then back on the Metro to Ginza.
And a quick but pleasant tempura lunch Ten-ichi, a block from the Hyatt.
