About This Event / イベントについて
Minami-Ikebukuro Park, a short walk from the south exit of Ikebukuro Station, is a compact but beloved neighborhood hanami spot. Somei-yoshino cherry trees line the central lawn, and the park is small enough that even a single bloom turns it pink.
During peak bloom (usually the last week of March) the trees are lit softly in the evening. Unlike larger parks, it is quiet, free, and open around the clock — popular with locals on lunch breaks and families with small children. Pair it with a coffee from the cafes on Meiji-dori or a walk to the older Zoshigaya neighborhood nearby.
