Along the Sumidagawa River Walk

Keiko and I visited her family home area of Tokyo’s Asakusa district for a wonderful cherry blossom viewing experience.

The Sumida River Walk on April 2, 2022
Located in the Tokyo's Asakusa ward, the area is well-known for Sensoji Temple, the Nakamise-dori shopping street and the Tokyo Skytree. Keiko grew up in this neighborhood.
The River Walk is one of the most popular areas for viewing and enjoying the cherry blossoms.
Colorful flower displays enhance the cherry blossom viewing experience.
Most people walk along the river and park areas; others board popular party boats.
The preferred way to view the cherry blossoms –– relaxing in a park while enjoying good food and drink!
Upbeat entertainment is a welcomed element of the viewing experience.
