When you think of cherry blossoms, the image that likely comes to mind is a snowy halo of pale pink blooms, fluttering beneath a blue spring sky. But Japan’s iconic sakura are just as spellbinding after dark as they are during the day. During peak bloom — usually late March to early April — the trees are illuminated in a pink glow, creating the magical phenomenon that locals look forward to year after year. Named yozakura, these luminous cherry blossoms transform Tokyo’s rivers and parks, enveloping strollers in their lovely blush.

Here are some of the best spots to see cherry blossoms at night in the city. Many of them are free to enter. Keep in mind that some of the illumination dates might shift depending on how long the blooms last this year.

This could NEVER happen in America or in Europe today.
Too much crime, too much mindless malicious vandalism.
