If you're too lazy to put together a homemade sakura picnic set for the hanami season, there's always this option: Shinagawa's Strings hotel is offering a special afternoon tea plate arranged to satisfy even the most demanding of cherry blossom enthusiasts. ¥4,000 (plus tax and service) gets you an assortment of cakes, pastries and savoury appetisers, all themed on Japan's symbol of spring. Unfortunately enough, you won't be finding any actual sakura trees nearby – the hotel's restaurant is on the 26th floor.
