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

Sumi-Yume Bon Dance Festival

Partake in a new style of Bon Odori at Sumida Park’s Soyokaze Square, where the Sumi-Yume Bon Dance Festival takes place on October 25 from 2pm to 8pm. Inspired by local artisan Hokusai’s ukiyo-e prints evoking playful dances from the Edo period (1603–1868), this ultra-casual festival is open for anyone to join, regardless of age, dance skill or whether you come alone or not. If you can’t make it on Saturday, head there on Friday evening for a free concert featuring a diverse group of musicians, including Ryuichi Sakamoto’s daughter and accomplished vocalist Miu Sakamoto, producer and singer Keiichi Sokabe and many more. Marking 80 years since the end of World War II, the concert is titled ‘Sumida Peace Concert’ and will be held to offer a prayer for future peace.
