My friend left Tokyo early in the morning and with my dad flying in tomorrow, this meant I’d spend the day alone in Tokyo. With temperatures set to peak at a relatively balmy 61 degrees Fahrenheit (17 Celsius), I headed to Sumida Park, which is located in the northern part of Tokyo next to the Skytree Tower.
The blossoms were in complete full bloom within the park itself, and there was even an elderly man playing the Shamisen, a type of Japanese stringed instrument used to play folk songs.
