By the way, looks like mid April is a bad time to fly as the Sakura blooming is not here or there? :s13:

you will miss sakura in kyoto, tokyo, osaka, but other higher up places like fuji, nagano, etc... will be just around their peak.

thanks bro!

that really helps.

I think I'll go Shinjuku first thing in the morning, and head to Asakusa in the noon.

when we are dressed up, we'll explore the places that you had mentioned.

I'd decided to go Kawaguchiko on 2nd day.so now I need to plan for the 3rd day, and i still have the sanrio Puroland ticket.

On the 4th day, I'll be going to Osaka, and coming back to Tokyo on the 9th day.

eh i neber wear kimono walk around before, but i think popular spots would be in Asakusa itself (the Sensoji temple). Nearby Sumida river (5 min walk) is a hanami spot, so maybe you can try there also. dunno if you want to take river cruise but i think will be crowded and long queue.

From Asakusa the easiest way is to take Ginza metro to Ueno Park - hanami and got temple there also. Then from there can take Yamanote line to Shinjuku gyoen. I saw ppl wear kimono take photo with sakura trees there. also got ppl take wedding photos. so it's a popular spot for photo-taking.

I would skip chidorigafuchi cos really no time, unless you can go evening/night (i think it has night sakura lightup event or something - not very sure). You can easily spend 2 hours in Asakusa, 2 hours in Ueno and 1-2 hours in Shinjuku gyoen. I walked from Tokyo station to Imperial Gardens to Chidorigafuchi (cos supposedly got sights along the route) and it was a very, very long walk. there's a nearer metro station if you dun wan to walk, but overall i wasn't very impressed with chidorigafuchi (maybe cos i went too early and for some reason sakura haven't bloomed there yet).

osaka and kyoto announced today.
My original plan was to stay in tokyo from 30-3 to 4-4 but probably i'll just stay in tokyo until 31/3, i'll make a day trip to osaka on 1/4 and a day trip to kyoto on 2/4 for sakura

Dumb answer.
It is like saying having Japanese meals are 100% Japanese ingredients with Japanese chefs.

Go & see the Garden Sakura Matsuri.
