This photo captures the fully bloomed Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms flourishing beside the stairs. The blossoms, coloring the staircase, seemed to celebrate the start of spring.Asukayama Park, located just a short walk from the Toden Arakawa Line stop, is a historic park dating back to the Edo period and remains beloved by many today. Come spring, approximately 600 cherry trees adorn the grounds, with the avenue of Somei-Yoshino trees creating a particularly stunning tunnel of blossoms. It's a renowned cherry blossom spot where visitors can escape the city bustle and enjoy a leisurely, peaceful time.
