TOKYO, Japan - illiNews -- From late March to Early April, Tokyo's Sumida Park (https://www.gotokyo.org/en/spot/506/index.html) erupts in cherry blossoms in hues from subtle white to blushing pink. The park has been selected as one of the 100 best cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan by the Nihon Sakura Association. The park is located near TOKYO SKYTREE (https://www.tokyo-skytree.jp/en/), which at 634 meters, is the tallest freestanding tower in the world. From Sumida Park, sakura enthusiasts can snap photos with the edifice in the frame.
Sumida Park is divided into two districts on either side of the Sumida River: Taito Ward, including Asakusa Sensoji Temple -- Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple (https://www.senso-ji.jp/english/) -- and Sumida Ward featuring TOKYO SKYTREE. Comely and calming blossoms behold visitors from both vantage points. That's because in 1717, during the Edo era, the Eighth Shōgun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, started planting cherry trees. Now there are nearly 600 trees on the Taito side and about 330 on the Sumida side. One of the best ways to experience the blossoms is to take a leisurely stroll (about ten-minutes) east or west across the SUMIDA RIVER WALK. This elevated promenade, completed in summer 2020, runs along the TOBU SKYTREE line railway bridge and is connected to the newly opened TOKYO mizumachi (https://www.tokyo-mizumachi.jp/en/) waterfront destination development, replete with shops, restaurants, and even the Wise Owl Hostel (https://www.tokyo-mizumachi.jp/en/shop/8).

A total of 30 establishments (14 restaurants, 13 fashion and miscellaneous goods stores, 3 food sales facilities) are renewing, along with 22 additional stores opening this spring.
