Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo (General Manager: Tomohiko Chihiro) in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, will offer "Twilight Sakura Terrace" starting March 2, 2026 (Monday). Guests can enjoy free-flow champagne (2 varieties) and rosé sparkling wine (1 variety) in this luxurious picnic experience.

Enjoy an elegant spring moment on the open terrace overlooking cherry blossoms in the garden with this exclusive luxury picnic experience.

Day Cherry Blossoms, Night Illuminated Sakura Sea of Clouds: Fine Dining on a Beautiful Terrace

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo's garden features approximately 100 cherry trees of 20 varieties that bloom sequentially from early February through mid-April, starting with early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms, followed by Kanhizakura, Miyabi cherry, and Somei Yoshino.

This plan allows guests to fully enjoy the changing scenery throughout the day, from daytime cherry blossom views with the pure white mist of the "Tokyo Sea of Clouds" garden display, to the fantastical "Night Sakura Sea of Clouds" after sunset, where illuminated cherry blossoms overlap with the lit-up "Tokyo Sea of Clouds." Enjoy the views from the terrace—the prime seating of the lobby lounge—along with exceptional cuisine.

Beverages include free-flow champagne (2 varieties) and rosé sparkling wine (1 variety). Food consists of appetizers served in a basket, with dessert served separately.

The basket contains 10 menu items featuring spring ingredients, including a "Fish Burger" with deep-fried sea bream in a bun topped with mentaiko sauce and tartar sauce, and "Conchiglie Aglio Olio" stuffed with garlic-sautéed spring cabbage and asparagus. For dessert, enjoy "Strawberry Mousse Sakura," a light and fluffy mousse capturing the sweet-tart flavor of strawberries and the fragrance of cherry blossoms, allowing you to savor spring until the very end.

Additionally, a non-alcoholic plan is available for those who prefer not to drink alcohol. Enjoy a luxurious experience on the terrace with pleasant breezes.
