April marks the arrival of spring, with sakura (cherry blossoms) in full bloom across the country. This beautiful season is celebrated with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties and symbolizes new beginnings. As the month progresses, anticipation builds for Golden Week—a series of national holidays from April 29 to May 6 in 2025. This extended break is one of Japan’s busiest travel periods, filled with vibrant festivals, cultural events and family gatherings. Here are the best Tokyo events for April 2025.
