Be mesmerised by the carpet of cherry blossom that graces the city every spring. See the city in bloom illuminated at night with a tour through Ueno Park and a Sumida River cruise.

HIGHLIGHTS:

* See cherry blossoms at Ueno Park and the Sumida River banks, two locations selected among the top 100 places in Japan for cherry blossom viewing

Famous for its cherry blossoms since the Edo period, Ueno Onshi Park is filled to the brim with 1,200 cherry trees that come alive every spring; flowering delicate pink petals that are a sight to behold. Start the evening with a stroll through the park, listed as a top 100 blossom destination in Japan, before taking the metro line to Asakusa station.

Here we embark the Sumida River Night Cruise, where we glide past row upon row of cherry blossom trees that line the riverbank. See effervescent pink blossom dance before your eyes whilst traditional dance is performed, set against a beautifully lit-up Tokyo Skytree in the background. The tour includes a special night cruise bento box from the famous Asakusa Imahan restaurant as well as a soft drink, beer or cocktail and a cup of sake served by the kimono-clad performer.
