Time Out says

Sankeien in Yokohama is a traditional Japanese garden that houses an impressive three-storey pagoda from Kyoto and a mansion that once belonged to a daimyo lord. In spring, you can enjoy a scenic sight featuring nine different kinds of cherry blossom trees, numbering 250 in total, that bloom from late March.

Come by between March 28 and April 6 to catch a special light-up event after dark from 6pm to 9pm. The garden will be open until 9pm, but some paths, including the one that leads to the three-story pagoda, will be closed after 5pm. To see the sakura light-up, you need to pay the entrance fee of ¥900 (children ¥200).

In addition to the blossoms, you can catch a show by the virtuoso primates of the Nikko Monkey Troupe (10am-3.30pm on March 29 & 30 and April 5 & 6) and enjoy festival treats from fish and chips to traditional Japanese sweets from the food trucks parked at the Central Square.
