Passengers can enjoy scenic views, including parks, temples, and quaint residential streets, making it a favorite among both locals and tourists.

The Toden Arakawa Line, also known as the “Sakura Tram,” is adorned with numerous cherry blossom trees along its route. Additionally, roses embellish the scenery just as beautifully as the sakura.

The fare is a flat rate of 170 yen per section, but purchasing a One-Day Pass offers great value at just 400 yen, allowing unlimited rides throughout the day.
