The best hanami I have experienced so far was at Koganei Park west of Tokyo. They have a veritable forest of cherry trees there, and since it's a bit farther out on the Chuo Line it doesn't get jam-packed and impossible to enter (like Shinjuku Gyoen does).

Yep. Between Ichigaya and Iidabashi. The path/park on the South of the tracks is a hugely popular spot with the office workers. You'll see junior staffers guarding patches of blue plastic during the daylight hours and it gets pretty impassable in the evenings. Street party turns to street pizza pretty quick.
