Hi Norm
I shared it with my daughter on intergram as like me she love's cherry blossoms, he name is Charlie Godfrey, @avoiding_complaceacy. I even got one for my back garden, it is just starting to come out. Will send you a photo.
😀😍💙💙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice video ... Are we going to get a Shamisen under the cherry blossom this year? Personally I like the first park best because it looks to have lots of different intresting bits on top of the sakura.
Shared on Twitter and Facebook
I liked and shared on my Twitter! ( @Doll_Face1216 )
That print would look beautiful in my new house 😍😍😍🌸🌸🌸
Great video as always! I'll definitely take note for when I get to go to Japan, hopefully next year 🤞🤞
Much love from Arizona! ♥️♥️
Shared on Twitter :D I would pick spot number two. I have always liked that one when I see it in your videos!
Added some corrected English subtitles- The auto generated ones really did not like the word park and always messes up Asakusa lol! Hopefully this will help for any hearing impaired folks or others who like having subtitles. :)
Beautiful print Norm.
so calming to watch this after a grueling 6-hour long math exam
Honestly got lost in the video and actually thought I was there in Tokyo for a good few minutes..... love your cinematography and edits Norm!
Favorite park of the 3? Gotta be the last one, I always love being near the water and seeing reflections and etc. xD
You're probably the nicest guy out there making videos about Japan. Thanks for your quality stuff! 🌸
So kind~
Thank you
I'm in Japan now. Totally going to use these. Thanks!
That was awesome! Loved the Cherry Blossoms.
I also listened to one of your podcast from long back called 'a little morning motivation'. It was very inspiring and I loved it. Thanks for all the positivity that you have given everyone.
Your video is awesome, and I should say that Japan needs a guy like you , you are so polite, calm and collected in taking the vids. Thank you for sharing, we love it. And also you are right about not going to a busy 🌸blossoms tourist spots but instead go to a more calmer little corners or parks with 🌸blossoms are everywhere to admire. 💕🌸
super kind~ Thank you so much Connie
I really appreciate that
You guys already have full bloomed sakura???? Awee I can't wait for it's our turn to enjoy it.
Oh, and didn't we once rent a bicycle there?
Hahaha it's kinda fun watching those places and actually recognizing some of them.
I would love that picture. It is so cool. Love the video as always. I shared it with my Facebook friends.
So wish I could be there to see the blossoms but not this year.
Great video. And also I recommend going to the west part of Tokyo. Tokyo is so wide. The east part is full of buildings and people but the west has lots of parks, less people and beautiful rivers.
Thanks for sharing it us beautiful to watch. Love the way you play with angles to capture the trees. Very relaxing, helped me to unwind at the end of my day. Love the picture.
You sir are an excellent presenter and know how to get some amazing shots. Love watching your videos. Although I've been to Japan countless times, I never have been there at the right time to see Cherry Blossoms. I saw a few Sakura trees in Toronto where I live but it's nothing compared to Japan. *I shared the video on Facebook and hope to win that beautiful print!*
Thank you so much 😊
Ohyogawa-shinsui Park is definitely my fav. 🌸
Love lots of Sakura shots of this video! Shioiri park seems to be the great place not too far from Tokyo but nice chilly spot to enjoy cherry blossoms🌸
And..you found ducks!😆
Nice quiet spots! The first one looks great with the views of skytree! We're staying close to that area for our trip. I shared the video on Snapchat with my husband! Thanks for the great video!
If only you had put out this video a week earlier...just got back to Hong Kong after a five day trip to Tokyo. Like a regular tourist, I ended up in spots where there were many other tourists. Was finally only able to get ten shots that I was satisfied with... 😅
Great video, Can't wait to see the Blossoms in person next year , Shared to FB. Last location Shioiri Park is my Favourite. Thanks so much
The timing of this video couldn't be more perfect! Just 2 years ago I went to Japan by myself just to see the beauty of the cherry blossoms and it was so magical and worth it! I took my favourite pictures ever there and I can't wait to go back in November for the autumn leaves viewing!! This is a vid I'll def be saving for the future ^o^
Great vid! I shared it on Facebook. I would love, love, love to have the print. It would be a beautiful reminder to continue to learn Japanese and to set money aside so my hubby and I can visit one day. I, like you, think the park by the river seems the best.
Lovely video, glad to see that there are tranquil locations for cherry blossom viewing. Shared on Twitter!
Perfect timing. We found this video on the way back to Shibuya from Kyoto last night. We went to Ohyogawa-Shinsui park and really enjoyed it. You were spot on. We got off at Toyocho and walked from there which I’m glad we did so we could see the ponds with turtles, herons, and the water wheel house. Thanks a lot!!
Ok really happy to hear that!!
So glad you enjoyed it
Norm always the plug with the hidden gems of Tokyo 👌🏼. Also the Sakura 😩🥰🌸 watching this transported me to Japan, ugh I love.
The two trees in Ueno park were open when I was there a couple weeks ago. Around March 10th, took several snaps of the cherry blossoms!!! Always enjoy Tokyo Tuesday!
omg the cat was so cute and so photogenic in the Sakura tree, I love the hidden spots they are so beautiful
Urmagurd! 🌸🌸🌸 Sakura overload! Another beautiful video with some great hanami spots that aren’t crowded! I love that pic too, I total just bought a print to decorate my cubicle with some spring 🌸😂
Oh wow!! Thank youuuuuu 😊
Man, I've been to that first park haha, coincidence. Not during sakura time sadly but the height of summer, still the running stream was nice and cooling!
They're all really beautiful places but my favourite park is Shioiri Park. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Wow I know how to relax and viewing the Cherry Blossoms spot on my own without any crowd to worried about 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Your shooting style is the best!
I think the 3rd location is the best perhaps? 🤔
I have shared to Instagram and Facebook, it’s too good not to share!
Aww thank you so much~
I shared this Sakura-filled video on FB. Thank you for giving screen time to the lovely cat in the park. Can't decide on a favorite park as they are all beautiful.
Thank you!
Hey, Norm, thanks for the quality video. Your content is always amazing, so I shared this video with a friend that went with me to Japan two years ago. We went for the sakura season, and saw them at the Shinjuku Gyoen Gardens.
Liked and shared on Facebook, it is criminal how low your subs are for the quality of video you are putting out. I would have to say the final location is my favourite however all three looked so peaceful. I really hope to come to Japan in the future.
Norm, your transitions are the coolest thing since sliced bread!
I liked the first park you showed us the most, and also the last one. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing
I like the unique way of your making beautiful video..! And beautiful music!🌸👏
the cat 😭 it fit so perfectly with the cherry blossoms!! actually shared this video with my friend who's in japan right now for 2 weeks!
OMG, I love that pic at 7:34 The green tint of lights in Tokyo is a fave of mine.
I have to say I really haven’t been a “nature” person and you’ve really converted me… I really want to see the Sakura in person!
Perfect video for my Tokyo visit next week! Thank you for this. Shared it in my Twitter account.
Gonna share this on my Olympics Twitter page - @CauldronLight - because Tokyo 2020 fever has commenced and everyone is so excited!
Really great video and I love the print! I will like your content always :)
so kind~
Thank you so much!~
I like them all. Looks like a very relaxing place to be.
Shared on Facebook and Twitter. I tried to get to that waterfall park near the sky tree, but I think it was closed to me arriving too late in the evening. But, that is when I decided to eat next to the Sumida River and ran into you. The Norm out in the wild... lol So it was worth it. I will try again on my next visit.
Thanks Timothy!
And that was an amazing coincidence!!
As always, so much value in your videos 😍 thank you! I think this is my fav. video from the 2019 season so far 🌸
I went to Ueno Park in early March 2020, and it was wonderful to see the early blooming sakura. Thanks for the tip! I'm home in Australia, waiting to get back to Japan, but ti's great to have that memory.
Domo arigato! You give hope to see the blossoms in Tokyo. I won't arrive until April 4 th so the fact those trees haven't bloom yet gives me hope. Also the fact areas that doesn't get the crowds as the more popular sites. Still may miss the bloom but there is hope.
Thank you for the new content!! I love being able to sit in my tiny cubical in my tiny town in Missouri and feel like I’m transported to beautiful parks in Japan! I think my favorite is the first one Ohyogawa-Shinsui park!!
I walked that park (or cycled) almost every day for over a year.
It was a true pleasure
Tokyo Lens I feel like it would be such a beautiful place to sit and eat lunch! Especially when the Sakura are in bloom!
All of those parks are awesome. I do really love Shiori park. Thanks for sharing all of these amazing nature spots Norm, cheers!
Man oh man, that shot at 8:38 is stunning!! Nice work Norm!
Literally just waking up to this is the best way to start my Tuesday morning! Thank you, Norm!~ Will be entering this give away real soon.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for showing us around to all these remarkable places! One day I will visit Japan and you have certainly given me a lot of ideas on where I wanna go! Thanks Norm! Take care! Much love from America!
We're flying over next Saturday and Ōyokokawa Shinsui Park is now firmly on our to-do list. Thank you very much! 🙂
Yayyyy new video! This is perfect because I’m planning to go cherry blossom hunting in Asakusa! I’ve shared this video on Facebook and Twitter! 😄
Definitely visiting this spots! We’ve loved here for a year now & have never known about these spots 😊 Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼🌸
Amazing secrets! I’m off tonight to have a gander @ a few of these spots! The Skytree shot, wowza!
Sakura is beautiful anywhere.
Asakusa is on my bucket list...but first I should go see the cherry blossom in DC this year.
いつも素晴らしい動画ありがとう!!
Oh Norm, this has been one of the best videos this year! Thank you so much!!! I loved everything about this--the music was the perfect choice (it really was beautiful--not just because I wasn't a fan of the music on the last one, lol ;) ) and the shots you got were so clear and beautiful--I keep saying "beautiful" but I can't think of another fitting word. I loved the cat too! I think my favorite place would be the second park, where you filmed Kiki playing, but I think the last one would come in as a close second. I'm sharing this video on my FB page. :) I really hope I win!! Thank you for creating this not only for those who are visiting, but for those of us (like me) who live vicariously through vlogs like this.
You know I always love the long comments!!
Thank you~
It looks so peaceful every area you share. I shared the video on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
I will be in Japan next year for Hanami season so this is video is useful! My favorite spot is probably the last one, I love being by a river!
Thank you for the video, Norm! I'm leaving for Tokyo in 13 days and my hotel is 10 minutes from that first park - I can't wait to explore it the second I get there!
It was so nice and warm here too until yesterday. So thanks for the calm and cheerful video. You made my day! :D ^^
I am heading for Tokyo tomorrow and this video is going to be very helpful! I will try and visit one of these parks while I am over there.
Loved this video! I was in Tokyo last week and I was at the beginning of Hanami fever. Took some great pics. Sharing this in my Facebook page.
Shared to Facebook. As a primary Japanese teacher with over 500 students beautiful photography is just one way to inspire the next generation
Ah Tokyo Tuesday.......my favorite day of the week! Sadly I will just miss the cherry blossoms, but I can’t wait to experience sanja matsuri! Shiori park looks awesome. I shared to Instagram, Norm!
Man, I'd love to be there now. Looks so beautiful. Especially the park you shot the video with Kiki in.
Shared this on my Facebook, hopefully it will get you some views!
I shared your video to many of my friends in Line messager. I, my wife and Young daughter just came back from Tokyo yesterday. Sadly I just found this video. Otherwise we can avoid UENO park but I shared this with my friends who still in Tokyo right now. Thank you for your great videos. I'm looking forward to meet you in person one day.
Hey Norm, you have wonderful content that I used plenty to help with my recent trip to Tokyo in February. I shared this video on /r/Tokyo and I hope it leads to some more followers for you! You deserve it.
Keep it up in 2019!
ありがとうございます！
頑張れよ！
頑張ってね！
Thank you for the share and just as much for watching
Another great video Norm. Love your edits during your videos. I shared this video on facebook.
Thanks mate, loved the end of the discribtion"treat them well"!👍😸
I would hate to see them be anything less than the beauty they are now~
@@TokyoLens Agreed!
Ah I wish I'd known about this a week ago, but it's all good. Just left Japan yesterday after a two week trip. First time in the country. Beautiful cherry blossoms!! Skytree was one of my favorites as well. Thank you for this video.
Wow the parks are amazing! Sakura or Cherry blossoms, especially the last park, are beautiful. I’m hoping to get to experience the whole seasonal change when I move to Sth Korea, a for a year or two very soon.
I shared this video before even watching because i knew it was going to be as amazing as always. PLEASE KEEP IT UP ; W; I LOVE IT. your shots both for the video and for your photography is just stunning
Aww thank you so much!!
@@TokyoLens yw and thank you :) as soon as I saw this video posted I had to share it with my friend who's off in Japan right now! I really hope he enjoys it all because they really are beautiful spots!
The last place was my favorite location. I definitely need to check them out in person.
Hi Norm!
These spots are sooooo Nice, you could really relax and enjoy watching the Sakura with a lesser crowd..
I will look for this Sakura spots on my travels this coming March 2023..😁😁
I'm also going to watch your other videos and past Live Streams about the Sakura for additional reference..😆
Thanks for another great informative video, we look forward to Tokyo Tuesdays every week! Our favorite is the park near the Sky Tree, what a lovely looking spot. We're coming back to Japan for the second time in June, can't wait! I've shared with my friends, fingers crossed for the beautiful print, love your pics :)
しおいりこえんはとてもきれいです! I'd definitely go there. しずかですね。thanks for the insight once again~
I shared to my dad because we're visiting Japan really soon and I am really excited!
I have one more hidden rec for anyone who’s interested! Between Monzen Nakacho and Kiyosumi Shirakawa there is a river. I’m not sure of the river’s name but all the cherry blossoms hang over the water and it’s 100% better than Meguro because there are NO crowds what so ever! Its quite a long walk way of blossoms (at least 1 km) and there’s a fantastic Dango shop nearby called Iseya. It’s about a 5 minute walk from either Monzen Nakacho station or Kiyosumi Shirakawa
I guess I can’t post a photo but if anyone wants more specific information, let me know!
Yes please tell me more about this and its location :)
Such lovely Sakura. My first ever trip to Japan was right at the beginning of the sakura season. Sadly I have no room for the awesome print, but it is so pretty.
I love rain pictures at night with cities. But the ones of the day pictures are way cool as well. Posted it on my Facebook account.
Thank you!
Beautiful,shared this on my Facebook page. Would love to see the cherry blossoms for real one day 😊
Good luck to the winner! I'll be there again in May!!!! Just can't wait!!!!
I loved all the spots you showed us. I don't think I can pick a favorite spot, but if I had to I would say the spot with the cat would be it. Another great video. Shared the video to my Twitter. All the Cherry Blossoms are so beautiful! Wish I could see them in person, may be one day. ❤️😊
Thank you for the share!
And the comment~
Happy to have you here
Of course, I love your videos! They are always so fun and interesting to watch. 😊
So pretty~~ I really like Sanyabori. Your shot of the park in the rainy night seems like the kind of place I'd love to enjoy with a cup of cocoa or something. It's been rainy and chilly all day here as we're moving into winter so I'm feeling that vibe a lot now :)
I shared this on my twitter, but I also sent it to a coworker I know will be in Tokyo next month as this info is just the kind of stuff he's looking for.
Not me thinking this place sounded and looked familiar right before you confirmed it was the exact same park as your previous video! Eventually I’ll remember more of the endless good information you provide!
Sakura Ohana :) Those are my favourite trees and flowers. Thanks for sharing! I hope that I can come to Japan one day during this period of the year.
One of these days I'll be there during Cherry Blossom season. Great info Norm! Thank you!
Probably agree with your fave location at the end. The one you showed with the rain was really nice too. Someday, I'll see these myself! Someday 😁
Watching your videos always makes me want to come to Japan and experience it right now, but life isn't always that easy. However I shared you video on Facebook on my friends page because we are both planning on visiting Japan together in a few years!! Thank you for the amazing content like always!!
Beautiful! Thank you~ 😊
@@TokyoLens You're welcome! I've been here ever since you started back up your channel after that one video you did with Sharla what feels like ages ago! I truly enjoy all that you do for your channel, podcast, and community as well as the passion you put into your content!! I'll be supporting you like you support us and those around you, mainly from the shadows though because I don't usually comment lol.
Tough choice between first location and last both for different reasons loved the picture using water reflection btw 👍🏼
Thanks for the Vid Norm! Your pictures brought me back to my photo camera. Shared on FB. Greetings from Austria!
Thank you for re-linking this video! My wife and I are (hopefully still) going to be in Tokyo 3/31-4/7 and our Airbnb is right between Ohyokogawa-shinsui Park and Sanyabori Park; 0.8 - 1.5km walking distance. Hopefully there will still be some blossoms to see by then. Blooming 11 days early this year is crazy. :(
Awesome video. now these parks might get full of your fans 😉
I love the 3rd Shioiri Park, the best. Beautiful Sakura trees one side and the water on the other side.
When I ever visit Japan during Sakura season, i'd definitely check out the park.
So beautiful, I love taking Sakura photos! Just got back from Shikoku, saw beautiful ume and sakura blossom. Shared this vid on twitter :)
That’s awesome!
Where did you go in Shikoku?
@@TokyoLens Takamatsu, Shodoshima, Matsuyama, Omishima, Ozu, Kochi, Tokushima and Naruto! Thanks to you, Sherry, Sharla and Chris I had lots of ideas for awesome places to see in Shikoku!
All of those places look so beautiful! I hope to be able to visit them sometime. Shared the video on Twitter.
Last week i was in japan and luckely we could see the first blossoms 🌸
Oh my gosh its lovely to see the cherry blossoms in bloom! I shared the video with one of my closest friends because we want to eventually travel to japan to see the Cherry blossoms and maybe partake in hanami with a picnic of conbini foods. All the parks are so pretty. my favourite one was Shiori Park because it looks nice next to the water with an adorable little space to have a picnic. My next favourite would be Ohyogawashinsui Park.
Those are my top two
Or at least in my top three! Haha
Thanks for sharing a little bit of spring with us! That photo is amazing. I am going to have to go look at the page.
I think that with the trees in bloom all 3 parks would be my favorite! (I have a hard time making choices...lol) I shared on twitter. :) Hope you are having a great day!
Your editing is top draw...looks amazing...love Japan. Love Tuesdays. 👍😉...and id visit them all, shared with my sis in law who comes Japan with me. 😉😉...did i mention....65 days to Osaka. 🤣🤣
Thanks so much mate!!
65 day countdown!!
