Sumida River

隡田川

🌿 CHILL

Also known as Sumidagawa

The river that threads Asakusa, the Tokyo Skytree, and the Asahi Beer Hall into one walking route. Lined with sakura trees for spring hanami; a good evening walking route year-round with the Skytree lit up across the water. You can also ride tourist boats between Asakusa and Hamarikyu Gardens.

💡 Local tips
  • Walk north-south between Asakusa and Hamarikyu Gardens — about 40 min, endlessly photogenic.
  • Water taxi (Tokyo Cruise) lets you do it by boat if your feet are done.
