How to Get There

Accepted Answer

Satte or Minami-Kurihashi station is about an hour and 15-minute train ride on the Hanzoumon line from central Tokyo station. It is then maybe a 10-15 minute taxi ride to Gongendo Park. Of course, if you prefer the hike I recommend getting off at Minami-Kurihashi station as it is a shorter 30 minute trip on foot.

The Satte Sakura Festival is definitely one of the more scenic and photogenic places to enjoy Hanami. Especially, on the outskirts of Tokyo, I would highly recommend this spot as a must-do during the Sakura season!
