(Taito-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Hidenori Fujiwara), which provides sightseeing rickshaws in Asakusa, which is popular with foreign visitors to Japan. It was realized as a plan. This year’s cherry blossom viewing will be the first time since the transition to Category 5 of the new coronavirus, and it will be a long-awaited cherry blossom viewing without any restrictions. In the Sumida River area of Asakusa, which has long been known as a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing, you can fully enjoy the magical nighttime cherry blossoms that shine against the pitch-black night sky in a chartered rickshaw, and then enjoy a night out at Asakusa’s restaurant district. We recommend that you make your reservation early as the event is limited to 4 days during the cherry blossom viewing period.
