Kuramae Shrine is surrounded by high-rise apartments but still makes a statement, especially this time of year with the gorgeous sakura in full bloom.

The locals call these cherry blossoms "Kuramae Sakura," although I'm pretty sure they are a type of yama-zakura. I like that they are so fond of these blossoms that they named it :)

Location: Kuramae Station on the Toei Oedo Line. For a Tokyoite, it's just a short walk from Asakusa or Ueno.

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

10/10 Excellent

"Second time booking at Knot. First was during Tokyo Marathon. I will book again when I visit Tokyo. It may be a bit of a walk to Shinjuku Station but the place is not chaotic which I prefer. The restaurant at the second floor is very good too aside from the bread they sell at the lobby. "
