plat hostel keikyu minowa forest "Tokyo Sakura tram part 2"

Hello, we are plat hostel keikyu minowa forest.

This time is Tokyo Sakura tram part 2! We would like to introduce recommended cherry blossom spots!

From "Minowabashi", you can see the cherry blossoms on your left side until the next stop "Arakawa itchumae". After "Arakawa itchumae", look at the right side and get ready for the next spot. The cherry blossoms along the track between "Arakawa kuyakusho mae" and "Arakawa nichome" is very beautiful! Don't miss it!

Also you can take nice pictures of Tokyo Sakura Tram and cherry blossoms!

There is a line of cherry blossom trees, so if you have a day ticket, we recommend to get off once at "Arakawa nichome" and take a walk along the tracks.

The section between "Kumanomae" and "Odai" is a combined track section with cars.

This section runs in a divided space, but you can feel the parallel running with the car!

There is Oguhachiman Shrine just next to "Miyanomae".

You can get a stamp at the shrine called "Goshuin". Goshuin is a red stamp of the shrine and people can get it as a worship certification.Their stamp is Tokyo Sakura tram design! The design will change each season, so if you are interested in, how about a trip to collect the red stamp?

Check their Instagram account for the red stamp design!

There are few types of design of this tram, like pop and retro. If you are lucky, you will find "Toaran" seat!! (Toden Arakawa line mascot character )

It is a four-letter version of "Toden Arakawasen", and "Ran" means "RUN" and "Ran Ran Ran"(Japanese words that express happy feeling). It's a very cute character!
