The Sumida River is a popular hanami spot, and while viewing the cherry blossoms under full bloom is wonderful, the crowds can be overwhelming... You can enjoy cherry blossom viewing along the Sumida River, a famous sakura spot, from the water—no need to secure a spot on land. Unlike the regular route, this special cherry blossom season-only cruise takes you through multiple hanami spots. The view from the water, especially around Kototoi Bridge and the stretch from Sakura Bridge to Azuma Bridge in front of the Asahi Beer Headquarters, offers a unique perspective you won’t find anywhere else—highly recommended!
