There's a street with pink yaezakura, a kind of cherry blossoms between Kyobashi and Ginza.

Yabata

Yabata is the area one block away from Itabashi station.
This is a residential area with super market and small stores.

It's not a famous place at all but I'd like to show beautiful cherry blossoms are everywhere in Tokyo in the season.
The life of cherry blossoms are about 60 years and some of flowers must be replanted in Tokyo.

Sumida River

Sumida River is famous Sakura viewing spot from Edo era.
Many boats are on the river to see cherry blossoms.

Sumida river is also famous for fireworks in summer.

Since it's one block from Asakusa, we have many visitors all around the year.

This is a good place to take pictures with Tokyo Skytree.
If you are closer, Tokyo Skytree is too high to take pictures together with.

Megro River may be one of the most popular Sakura viewing spot in Tokyo recently.
We have cherry blossoms on both side of the river together with lanterns in this season.

This is one reason why this river is so popular.
