Follow the Cherry Blossom Trail of Edo
Ride the only Tram in Tokyo
Enjoy a Cherry Blossom Picnic Lunch
Let me guide you to two renowned cherry blossom locations—Asukayama and Sumida Riverbank (Bokutei) —in the first half of the 18th century during the Edo period, where it is said that the eighth shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, ordered the planting of cherry trees. We will utilize Tokyo’s sole remaining tram (Tokyo Sakura Tram) for our journey. Along the way, we’ll stop to purchase a bento (boxed lunch) and relish in a cherry blossom-viewing lunch.
This tour offers the opportunity to retrace the steps of commoners in Edo 300 years ago, who enjoyed cherry blossom viewing.
