Cherry Blossom Viewing 2025: Sakura Meguri at the Tokyo Prince Hotel
Experience the Beauty of Spring with Sakura-Themed Cuisine
The Tokyo Prince Hotel will be holding "Sakura Meguri 2025", an event that allows guests to appreciate the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms while enjoying exquisitely crafted, sakura-themed meals.
The hotel is nestled within the Shiba Park area, a verdant oasis known for its numerous cherry trees. This location provides a unique and somewhat secluded vantage point for cherry blossom viewing, made all the more special by the iconic Tokyo Tower serving as a majestic backdrop. To celebrate the arrival of spring, the Tokyo Prince Hotel has curated a special menu that complements the visual splendor of the cherry blossoms.
At the "Cafe & Bar Tower View Terrace" restaurant, guests can immerse themselves in an enhanced cherry blossom viewing experience. The restaurant’s advantageous location already offers spectacular views of both Tokyo Tower and the blossoms, but this will be further augmented through projection mapping. This technology will create an enchanting atmosphere, simulating the experience of viewing yozakura (night cherry blossoms) and a variety of other spring flowers. Two special menu items are available at this location: the "Ohanami Kobako" (cherry blossom viewing small box), a dish that encapsulates the vibrant colors of spring, and the "Hanameku Harukago" (blooming spring basket), which guarantees a seat in a dome tent.
Additionally, "Tea Salon Pikake," located near the lobby, will offer a Spring Afternoon Tea. This elegant, three-tiered presentation is designed to evoke the image of cherry blossoms dancing in the spring breeze. The selection artfully combines cherry blossom and matcha flavors, heralding the arrival of spring.
The combination of a superb view, encompassing both the beautifully blooming cherry blossoms and Tokyo Tower, with a colorful menu designed to evoke the season, makes for an unforgettable spring experience.

What is Sakura Meguri?
Sakura Meguri, or cherry blossom viewing, is a tradition in Japan that celebrates the transient beauty of cherry blossoms, known as sakura. This practice involves visiting various locations to admire the blossoms as they bloom in their pink and white hues. It is a time for reflection, appreciation of nature, and gathering with friends and family. During Sakura Meguri, people often enjoy picnics under the blooming trees, partake in seasonal foods, and capture the scenery. The Tokyo Prince Hotel Sakura Meguri 2025 event offers themed cuisine and views of Tokyo Tower, providing a distinctive way to enjoy this tradition.
