This enchanting video titled "4K60【日本橋桜まつり】桜のライトアップ 2025 東京 Japan" transports viewers to Tokyo's Nihonbashi district during the cherry blossom season in late March 2025. Shot in stunning 4K60 HLG with natural sounds and a walking perspective using a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, it captures the ethereal beauty of sakura trees illuminated by night lights, marking the full bloom (満開) of spring.
The walk begins around 6 PM on March 30th and showcases a number of emblematic sites in the Nihonbashi area, starting with the famous Kirin Statue (日本橋麒麟像), a popular meeting spot and symbolic point at the northern end of the Nihonbashi Bridge. From there, the route includes stops at iconic locations like the historic Mitsukoshi Department Store (日本橋三越本店), Mitsui Main Building (三井本館), and the Bank of Japan Head Office (日本銀行本店) along the beautifully lit Edo Sakura Street (江戸桜通り).
A highlight of the journey is the tranquil and picturesque Fukutoku Shrine (福徳神社) and its adjacent forested area known as Fukutoku no Mori (福徳の森), offering a peaceful ambiance amidst the urban landscape. The pedestrian-friendly walk continues through key shopping and cultural hubs including COREDO Muromachi Terrace’s spacious rooftop plaza (大屋根ひろば) and Central Street (中央通り).
The video captures a full loop of the sakura display, returning to the Kirin Statue with dramatic views of bonbori paper lanterns, cherry blossoms, and historic architecture under the night sky. The walk not only showcases Tokyo's seamless blend of tradition and modernity but also serves as a sublime example of how the city comes alive in springtime.
Whether you're planning a hanami (flower viewing) trip or simply enjoy seasonal visuals of Tokyo, this video is a must-watch virtual escape into the capital's evening charm during one of the most picturesque events of the year.
