Tokyo | Ride the Showa-era Style Sakura Tram

Dear travelers, Tokyo has a super romantic "Tokyo Sakura Tram," also known as the Toden Arakawa Line! Here, you can not only encounter stunning cherry blossoms but also soak in a full Showa retro atmosphere.

📌 Route tips: Highly recommend boarding at Arakawa-Nichome Station, heading towards Waseda. Arakawa-Nichome is a perfect cherry blossom viewing spot, great for photos. You can get off midway at Asukayama Station, where the cherry blossom park offers a unique charm. Ride to Omokagebashi, then walk to the famous Kanda River cherry blossom viewing area. If you're interested in trams, don’t miss Arakawa Shako-mae Station, where you can see many vintage trams.

📷 Photography tips: Along the tram line, medium to long focal length lenses work best; a phone with a telephoto lens can also do the trick, capturing close-ups of the tram and cherry blossoms. Film-style filters are a perfect match to enhance the retro vibe.

🎫 Riding tips: A single ride costs 168 yen, no matter which station you get off at. If you plan to ride multiple times, consider buying a one-day pass for better value.
