Kyu-Tomogawa Ryokuchi, located in the Omori Higashi district of Ota Ward, is a beautiful green space lined with cherry blossom trees. It is a "hidden spot" for cherry blossom viewing that is not well known to many tourists!

Walking in Kyu-Nomigawa Ryokuchi is recommended during the cherry blossom season!

The former drinking river used to flow through this area, but due to frequent flooding, it was reclaimed in the 1950s and turned into a greenway park. In addition to cherry blossoms, the lush park with its rows of poplar and willow trees has playground equipment and health equipment, making it a favorite place for residents to relax.

Reference: The best time to see the shrine is usually from late March to early April.
