Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival, Early Feb–Mid Mar 2026, 2026

Name: Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival
Start: 2026-02
End: 2026-03

Written by TC Team

Around 360 kawazu-zakura trees cover the south side of Mt. Matsuda.

What happens?

These cherry blossoms will be in full bloom in mid-February, earlier than almost anywhere else near Tokyo. To top it off you can enjoy a perfect and unique view of Mt. Fuji together with the blossoms! We expect the weekends will be the most eventful.

How to get there

There are two main ways of getting to the festival. First, take the Odakyu Line from Shinjuku Station to Shin-Matsuda Station (1 hour 15 minutes) and then walk 20 minutes to the park. Alternatively, take the Ueno-Tokyo Line from Tokyo Station and stay on till it turns into the Tōkaidō Line. Change at Kōzu Station for the Gotemba Line and get off at Matsuda Station (1.5 hours), then it is a 15-minute walk to the park.

Get Tickets To the Samurai Restaurant in Shinjuku (Up to 30% Off)

Experience one of the craziest, most colorful places in Tokyo — the all-new Samurai Restaurant, from the creators of the Robot Restaurant. Get your tickets and sit back for a wild show of lasers, lights, samurai, dancers and other uniquely Japanese weirdness.
