[Enjoy both amusement parks and Hanami]
-Yomiuri Land-
Yomiuri Land – the amusement park located in the south of Tokyo, has “cherry‐tree‐lined path” which continues for 270m and there are 1000 cherry trees. The unique way to enjoy hanami in the amusement park – is while riding on attractions! You can only enjoy this way of Hanami here such as going through cherry trees while riding on a roller coaster and looking down the view of the site while riding on a ferris wheel.

[Take a cruise boat to enjoy Hanami]
-Hanami cruise-
Including the popular Hanami spot - Sumida Park, there are many places where you can enjoy Hanami along the riverside of Sumida river. In the season of Hanami, you can take a cruise boat called “Hanami cruise” which goes up the Sumida river between Hinode Pier and Asakusa. Seeing cherry trees while you take a boat would be nice too.
