Komagome Station 駒込駅

Azalea station

Komagome is about nature, a unique Yamanote line station with borders of beautiful gardens as soon as you set foot on its quay with the many azalea bushes that are arranged on each side. When they bloom each spring, the view is magnificent from the station!

On the station platforms, you lose your gaze for a moment in the colored balls of azaleas before a train quickly arrives. The "JR Melody" which announces the closing of the doors is "sakura, sakura " the tune of a traditional Japanese song composed during the Edo period (1603-1868), in connection with the blossoming of the cherry trees!

The most common variety of Japanese cherry tree is "Somei Yoshino", and it was created around 1720, right next to here . We are therefore at the heart of what has been the soul of Japan for centuries and which the crowds have been seeking for all this time.

In the Somei Reien cemetery, the most beautiful are all the cherry trees that bring the place to life every spring.

Cherry trees of the famous and popular Somei Yoshino variety, whose blooms make Japan famous all over the world, were first created in the village of Somei, now a district of Tokyo.
