When is the best season to view cherry blossoms along the Sumida River?

Every year, as spring approaches, meteorological agencies predict the time when cherry blossoms will bloom in different parts of Japan. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), this year the cherry blossoms in Tokyo are expected to bloom in the middle to the end of March. To ensure availability, we advise you to get in touch with us as soon as possible because the weekends from late March to early April are typically crowded. If the weather conditions and temperatures are favorable during the month of April, it is possible to indulge in the beauty of cherry blossoms for an extended period of time until the second weekend of April.
