This park in Taito Ward extends along the western bank of the Sumida River. On the other hand, the park that extends along the eastern bank is the Sumida Ward Sumida Park. In this park, which boasts a site of over 10 hectares, many cherry trees are planted centered around the "Sakura Square". In addition to Somei Yoshino and Oshima Zakura cherry trees, a descendant of the "Miharu Takizakura", a weeping cherry tree in Miharu town, Tamura district, Fukushima prefecture, which is estimated to be over 1,000 years old, is also grown as a symbol tree. This makes the park a famous spot for cherry blossoms, attracting many sightseers not only from the local area but also from other prefectures during the cherry blossom viewing season. Besides cherry blossoms, you can also enjoy various flowers of the four seasons, such as plum blossoms and hydrangeas, in the park.

The park is also famous as a viewing spot for the Tokyo Skytree, which towers over the Sumida River. In particular, the observation plaza is in the best position where you can see the Skytree without any obstructions. The tree, which offers different impressions depending on the season and time of day, such as with the cherry blossoms and the illuminated night view, is popular as a photography spot. It is also known as a venue for the "Sumida River Fireworks Festival" in summer.

    Sumida Park runs along the Sumida River and offers beautiful scenery in every season, especially during cherry blossom season.

    Strolling along the riverbank, you can enjoy views of Tokyo Skytree and the river. It’s relaxing and peaceful, making it a great place for a walk, photos, or simply unwinding.

    I highly recommend coming to Sumida Park in the evening. It feels so relaxing to enjoy the breeze while taking in the view of the Sumida River, and seeing the Asahi Beer Hall in the distance gives it a laid-back urban vibe.

    Taking a walk through Sumida Park at night, I came across Tokyo Skytree.
    Choosing to stay in Asakusa was really a great decision. Besides visiting Senso-ji at night, you can also stroll through Sumida Park and admire the view of Tokyo Skytree by the river. It’s the most beautiful sight.
