Travel Information
It can be easily accessed as a day trip from Tokyo. Just noticed that theres only one bus a day (back and forth) from Tokyo station (when I was there, it was at 10:30 am and 4:30 pm to go back) - don't miss it! And be there early because it's a popular destination in blooms.
Expect tons of people.
It's not ideal, so if you have a car, it's better. But you can't take sunset/sunrise photos because the park closes...
