    Time Out says

    Flanking both sides of the Sumida River, this park offers a welcoming retreat after you've worn yourself out sightseeing in nearby Asakusa. Spring is the best time to visit, when more than 1,000 sakura trees lining both banks burst into bloom, although people visiting later in the year haven't missed out on all the excitement – the last weekend in July brings an enormous fireworks display. There are also plenty of attractions nearby, including shopping streets, Asakusa Shrine and Sensoji Temple.

    What’s on

    Bokutei Cherry Blossom Festival

    The one-kilometre path along Sumida River from Azumabashi Bridge to Sakurabashi Bridge has over 340 Yoshino cherry trees, making it one of the most popular sakura attractions near Sensoji Temple. These trees were planted in the 18th century by order of the 8th shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, so they carry extra historical significance.  Come in the evening from March 20 to April 5 to see the blooming cherry blossoms light up from 6.30pm to 9pm daily. And on weekends when the sakura are in peak bloom – including March 28-29 and April 4-5 – you can expect a vibrant atmosphere, with plenty of street food stalls and games set up near Sakurabashi Bridge and Sumida Park Soyokaze Square. From March 25 to April 5, you'll even find a ‘geisha’ teahouse hosted by the Mukojima Bokutei Association. Tea will be served at Sakurabashi Deck Square. Check the event website for the latest details.
