Tokyo’s cherry blossoms have begun to bloom one after another. To celebrate the beautiful sakura season, the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation has decorated Train No. 9002 of the Toden Arakawa Line with cherry blossom-themed wallpaper, creating a highly seasonal atmosphere for passengers. Cherry blossom viewing spots along the Toden Arakawa Line include “Arakawa Nature Park,” which is celebrated for its many Somei Yoshino cherry trees and is listed among Tokyo’s Top 100 Views. The tram ride also offers great views of the cherry blossom grove at the Sankodoshima Water Reclamation Center.
