Shinjukugyoen and cherry blossoms

Shinjukugyoen (新宿御苑) is one of the best places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo. I went on Friday morning with Laura. It was excellent!

Here are some pictures of the cherry blossoms...these are nice, but they only give you an idea of how beautiful it was.

There were lots of people in the park. You have to pay ¥200 to get in, but that did not seem to matter. It was very festive, like being on holiday. They seem to be having fun!
