Okutama

Last weekend, went for a hike in Sakura-yama (Sakura mountain) in Okutama. It was 2 hours train ride from Shinjuku station with few transits. It was a long journey with beautiful country side view along the train track.

Beautiful sakura Okutama

Near the sakura-yama, there is a huge reservoir which provides water source for the Tokyo people. It is known as the Okutama water reservoir.

Walking at the dam wall, on my left is filled with water but on my right it is deep down valley (maybe is 30m in depth)

Okutama station is pretty old, and the station decorated with old movie posters inside the station

Shinjuku Park

Here are the pictures I took during my hanami (picnic) last week in Shinjuku Gyoen (park) in Tokyo, Japan. There are so many sakura tress of various species and also thousands of people gather in the park and to enjoy the beauty of sakuras!

This is one of the best season to visit Tokyo, Japan - beginning of April, when the sakura blooms and decorate the dull cityscape of Tokyo, with beautiful flower petals!
