The Sagamiko Sakura Festival is billed as one of the biggest sakura festivals in the Kanto Region, with around 2500 cherry blossom trees dotting the grounds of the Sagamiko Pleasure Forest amusement park.
Along with the bounty of blooms to enjoy, the event includes a range of other ways to appreciate the pastel pink seasonal beauty, including a suspension bridge walk experience, chairlifts over the trees, and even zipping your way past them on a go-kart.
In addition, a limited-time cherry blossom themed menu will be available at the on-site Wild Dining Restaurant, where you can enjoy your meal with views of the blossoms.
Adult admission to the park is priced at ¥1900.
Getting there
Sagamiko Pleasure Forest is located approximately 10 minutes by taxi from Sagamiko Station, which is served by the Chūō Main Line.
For those who opt to drive, the venue is under 20 minutes from the Takaosan IC on the Ken-O Expressway.
