Gotenyama is an area rich in history. In the Edo period (1603-1867), it was a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing, as well as a place that the shoguns used for the tea ceremony and practicing falconry. Approximately 70 cherry blossom trees of various kinds abound in the area. During the daytime, you can feel the richness of nature in a garden measuring as much as 6,500 square meters—a rarity in central Tokyo. At night, the area will be lit up, creating an otherworldly scene. On offer are a variety of enjoyable contents to stimulate the five senses—such as food trucks serving snacks, Japanese sake & tea, a special revealing of the “Ujian” tea house, and a quiz that one can participate in via LINE. Please enjoy these hands-on programs featuring food and creativity under the slogan: “Cherry blossom viewing enhanced by visitor participation.”
