There’s something in the air. A subtle perfume that is at once intoxicating and invigorating. Fairywing-like petals in pale pink sway to the ground when the wind picks up, reminding me why Tokyo looks and smells so good in spring: cherry blossoms.
There are tens of thousands of these magical trees across the Japanese capital, and once a year in parks and gardens, but perhaps the best perch is one of the city’s hotels, where a homage to nature is just as important as a comfortable stay. And at these three stunners, the foliage is a year-round experience. Come for the blossoms; linger for the leaf-peeping.
