 This shrine is famous for the three cherry trees
 which are the standard by which the
 Meteorological Agency announces the official
 timing of cherry blossoms blooming in Tokyo.
 There is a Sakura Matsuri at the beginning of
 April.  About 300,000 people attend and there are
 a lot of street stalls.  Also check out the many
 cherry blossoms that line the nearby Imperial
 Palace moat.

 Sakurano-sono (cherry blossom garden) is
 beautiful.  It is located between the South gate
 and the Shibuya gate.  There is a lot of space to
 wander around. 
 A flea market is held every month.
