[ Today’s famous “Sakura” spot-3 : “Toden Arakawa line” & “Arakawa shizen kouen” @Tokyo ]

Today’s famous “Sakura” spot is “Toden Arakawa line” at Arakawa-ku, Tokyo.

“Toden” means a streetcar. In Kanto, a streetcar runs only in three places. And one spot is the “Arakawa line”.

“Toden Arakawa line” is a streetcar running from the “Minowabashi” station to “Waseda” station for about one hour.

There are four places for viewing the “sakura” spot along “Arakawa line”.
This time, I will introduce you one spots of the “sakura”, “Arakawa shizen kouen” (nature park) (Arakawa-ku / Tokyo).

It is a park chosen as “100 new Tokyo views” of Tokyo. You can enjoy a “Somei-yoshino” in the large gardens.
You can also see the “sakura” which is in full bloom from the streetcar.
