So... I've been talking about gardens in Tokyo, but if you are going to go to Japan in early May to visit gardens, one of the truly fab places to visit is the Northern Culture Museum just outside Niigata-city. They have one of the great wisteria plants in the world. 
Being the totally mod cultural museum they are, they have their own twitter account @hoppo_bunka and show pics all year round. This, live, from Sunday.
The museum is the house and grounds of what used to be the largest farming operation in Japan. It is a cool place to visit - internal museums, a beautiful old main building, art museum, Japanese gardens, tea house, etc. And it is great in winter, spring, summer, and fall.
