To see the cherry blossoms:
• Get off the train at Monzen-Nakacho station.
• Go out Exit 4.
• Walk to the nearest corner and turn right, toward the bridge.
• The cherry blossom path that’s lit up with lanterns runs along the canal to the right. Or, you can cross the bridge, cross the street, and follow the lantern path along the canal to the left. There’s a great view from any of the bridges that cross the canal.
Kiyosumi-shirakawa is right next door, with more interesting places to see.
