Experience the Beauty of Spring with Tokyo Green Biz Quest

As cherry blossoms bloom across Tokyo, the city offers a renewed experience for both locals and visitors through an engaging initiative called the ‘Tokyo Green Biz Quest’. This unique, mission-based travel service invites participants to explore a selection of 21 specially designated cherry blossom spots throughout the city. Each location offers delightful surprises, with quests designed to highlight the beauty and diversity of Tokyo's greenery in spring.

A Blossoming Adventure Awaits

The ‘Tokyo Green Biz Quest’ is part of Tokyo Metropolitan's ongoing commitment to sustainability and green urban spaces, aligning with the vision of creating a city that harmonizes with nature for the next generation. Visitors are encouraged to solve various localized missions while enjoying the contemporary twist on the traditional cherry blossom viewing, or 'hanami'. Whether it involves comparing different species of sakura trees or appreciating the scenery around shimmering ponds, there is an aspect of nature waiting to be discovered at every stop.

Enhanced Convenience with Digital Tools

To enhance the cherry blossom experience, a digital map called the 'Tokyo Green Biz Map' now introduces a new hashtag search function. This feature helps users explore various green spots easily according to specific moods or needs. For example, searching #SakuraHanami reveals the best picnic spots or resting areas with baby facilities. Visitors can select spots that fit their plan seamlessly, making outings straightforward and enjoyable.
