March through Mid-April
Stay at Hotel New Otani Tokyo for a spring visit to enjoy the season's breathtaking spectacle.
Hotel New Otani Tokyo is surrounded by some of the most popular spots for cherry blossom viewing in the city, not to mention the on-site Japanese garden that will also be adorned with various shades of pink.
