HANAMI at Sumida Park

The best place to cherry blossom viewing is here Sumida Park. You can enjoy cherry blossom with TokyoSkytree. Cherry trees at Sumida Park were planted by Yoshimune Tokugawa, the eighth great shogun of Edo period in 1720. There are 640 cherry trees across Sumida River.

This park is placed both side of Sumida River, so it’s separated East side and West side.
