Sumida Park Cherry Blossoms

Sumida Park covers both banks of the Sumida River and has been selected as one of the top 100 cherry blossom spots. It is said that the cherry trees in the park were planted by the 8th shogun of the Edo period, Tokugawa Yoshimune. The cherry blossom festival held every spring has continued from the Edo period to the present day. During the festival, nearly a thousand cherry trees bloom along both banks of the Sumida River, creating a scene that is uniquely Tokyo, especially with the Tokyo Skytree in the background. At night, the cherry blossom tunnel is adorned with lights, transforming it into a luminous cherry blossom promenade, offering a dreamlike view of the night sakura. For those who want to experience a unique cherry blossom viewing, consider booking a yatai boat or water bus to enjoy the view of the cherry blossoms from the waterway. Another advantage of Sumida Park is its proximity to Senso-ji Temple and the Tokyo Skytree, so shopping enthusiasts can also take time out of their busy schedules to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
