Wondering What to See in Tokyo in Late March?

Question:
Humans say...

https://borderless.teamlab.art/ I wish I was there for this but it's amazing from what my friends have told me. Studio Ghibli museum (need to book ticket online 1 month before the date you want). If you like matcha ice cream, you can visit Suzukien north of Sensoji Temple for 7 levels of intensity of matcha ice cream. shimokitazawa is a cool area to visit - very hip area to check out. You can check out my travel blog for my Japan trip from April 2017 (Tokyo, Kanazawa, Takayama, Kyoto, Osaka). My Itinerary and some helpful advice is on there. Enjoy!

Take the train out to Kamakura for a day to see a bit of old Japan. Great walking area near the sea.

I second Ueno park for cherry blossoms, you might catch them towards the end of your trip. The entire atmosphere of the city changes when the blossoms are out. People set up tarps under the trees and eat and drink with families and friends late into the night. The Sakura latte from dotour (big coffee chain) is worth a try!
