Time Out says

Flanking both sides of the Sumida River, this park offers a welcoming retreat after you've worn yourself out sightseeing in nearby Asakusa. Spring is the best time to visit, when more than 1,000 sakura trees lining both banks burst into bloom, although people visiting later in the year haven't missed out on all the excitement – the last weekend in July brings an enormous fireworks display. There are also plenty of attractions nearby, including shopping streets, Asakusa Shrine and Sensoji Temple.

What’s on

Salsa Street Festival

First held in 2015, this multinational celebration returns for the second time this spring at Sumida Park Soyokaze Plaza in front of Ichiya Tokyo Mizumachi, where you can enjoy food, drinks, music and entertainment, plus all the salsa dancing you can possibly take over a single weekend. Grab a spicy taco and wash it down with beer, caipirinha or tropical cocktail before moving on to the vast selection of rum and tequila. In between meals and dancing, go check out the stalls selling handicrafts and other fun accessories.
