Hi Norm I shared it with my daughter on intergram as like me she love's cherry blossoms, he name is Charlie Godfrey, @avoiding_complaceacy. I even got one for my back garden, it is just starting to come out. Will send you a photo. 😀😍💙💙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@thempstead 5 лет назад

Nice video ... Are we going to get a Shamisen under the cherry blossom this year? Personally I like the first park best because it looks to have lots of different intresting bits on top of the sakura. Shared on Twitter and Facebook

@chelseacarpenter2302 5 лет назад

I liked and shared on my Twitter! ( @Doll_Face1216 ) That print would look beautiful in my new house 😍😍😍🌸🌸🌸 Great video as always! I'll definitely take note for when I get to go to Japan, hopefully next year 🤞🤞 Much love from Arizona! ♥️♥️

@oniruelette 5 лет назад

Shared on Twitter :D I would pick spot number two. I have always liked that one when I see it in your videos! Added some corrected English subtitles- The auto generated ones really did not like the word park and always messes up Asakusa lol! Hopefully this will help for any hearing impaired folks or others who like having subtitles. :)

Honestly got lost in the video and actually thought I was there in Tokyo for a good few minutes..... love your cinematography and edits Norm! Favorite park of the 3? Gotta be the last one, I always love being near the water and seeing reflections and etc. xD

@swaathisundaramurugan4670 5 лет назад

That was awesome! Loved the Cherry Blossoms. I also listened to one of your podcast from long back called 'a little morning motivation'. It was very inspiring and I loved it. Thanks for all the positivity that you have given everyone.

@conniearcher3462 5 лет назад

Your video is awesome, and I should say that Japan needs a guy like you , you are so polite, calm and collected in taking the vids. Thank you for sharing, we love it. And also you are right about not going to a busy 🌸blossoms tourist spots but instead go to a more calmer little corners or parks with 🌸blossoms are everywhere to admire. 💕🌸

@TokyoLens 5 лет назад

super kind~ Thank you so much Connie I really appreciate that

@thetypebeast 5 лет назад

Ohyogawa-shinsui Park is definitely my fav. 🌸

@sherryberryjp 5 лет назад

You guys already have full bloomed sakura???? Awee I can't wait for it's our turn to enjoy it. Oh, and didn't we once rent a bicycle there? Hahaha it's kinda fun watching those places and actually recognizing some of them.

@With_Me_JAPAN 6 месяцев назад

Love lots of Sakura shots of this video! Shioiri park seems to be the great place not too far from Tokyo but nice chilly spot to enjoy cherry blossoms🌸 And..you found ducks!😆

@iamchriss77 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing it us beautiful to watch. Love the way you play with angles to capture the trees. Very relaxing, helped me to unwind at the end of my day. Love the picture.

@Count-Drekon Год назад

omg the cat was so cute and so photogenic in the Sakura tree, I love the hidden spots they are so beautiful

@AQWorldsRay 5 лет назад

You sir are an excellent presenter and know how to get some amazing shots. Love watching your videos. Although I've been to Japan countless times, I never have been there at the right time to see Cherry Blossoms. I saw a few Sakura trees in Toronto where I live but it's nothing compared to Japan. *I shared the video on Facebook and hope to win that beautiful print!*

@TokyoLens 5 лет назад

Thank you so much 😊

@JessDelRey 5 лет назад

Norm always the plug with the hidden gems of Tokyo 👌🏼. Also the Sakura 😩🥰🌸 watching this transported me to Japan, ugh I love.

@gregorylawson5827 5 лет назад

The two trees in Ueno park were open when I was there a couple weeks ago. Around March 10th, took several snaps of the cherry blossoms!!! Always enjoy Tokyo Tuesday!

@malinda8668 5 лет назад

I shared this Sakura-filled video on FB. Thank you for giving screen time to the lovely cat in the park. Can't decide on a favorite park as they are all beautiful.

@elmisha1989 5 лет назад

The timing of this video couldn't be more perfect! Just 2 years ago I went to Japan by myself just to see the beauty of the cherry blossoms and it was so magical and worth it! I took my favourite pictures ever there and I can't wait to go back in November for the autumn leaves viewing!! This is a vid I'll def be saving for the future ^o^

@superchatoalien4905 5 лет назад

Great video. And also I recommend going to the west part of Tokyo. Tokyo is so wide. The east part is full of buildings and people but the west has lots of parks, less people and beautiful rivers.

@rosst1 5 лет назад

I would love that picture. It is so cool. Love the video as always. I shared it with my Facebook friends. So wish I could be there to see the blossoms but not this year.

@yolandayog 5 лет назад

@chad2t 5 лет назад

Perfect timing. We found this video on the way back to Shibuya from Kyoto last night. We went to Ohyogawa-Shinsui park and really enjoyed it. You were spot on. We got off at Toyocho and walked from there which I’m glad we did so we could see the ponds with turtles, herons, and the water wheel house. Thanks a lot!!

I walked that park (or cycled) almost every day for over a year. It was a true pleasure

@clydekawanishi7998 5 лет назад

Domo arigato! You give hope to see the blossoms in Tokyo. I won't arrive until April 4 th so the fact those trees haven't bloom yet gives me hope. Also the fact areas that doesn't get the crowds as the more popular sites. Still may miss the bloom but there is hope.

@mackenziewright9495 5 лет назад

I have one more hidden rec for anyone who’s interested! Between Monzen Nakacho and Kiyosumi Shirakawa there is a river. I’m not sure of the river’s name but all the cherry blossoms hang over the water and it’s 100% better than Meguro because there are NO crowds what so ever! Its quite a long walk way of blossoms (at least 1 km) and there’s a fantastic Dango shop nearby called Iseya. It’s about a 5 minute walk from either Monzen Nakacho station or Kiyosumi Shirakawa
