A landscape composed of cherry blossoms and torii (a traditional Japanese gate), a small scenic mountain

During the cherry blossom season, one can view 150 Somei-Yoshino (cherry tree) and 85 torii within the enclave of Sumida Hachiman Shrine. This scenery and the panoramic view of Sumida area from the top of the mountain are a must-see in one's lifetime. Even when it is not cherry blossom season, the gradation of the 85 torii and the view from the small mountain are fantastic.

Fresh Hashitama eggs for meals and souvenirs

Enjoy lunch at three reasonably priced places where you can enjoy three types of Hashitama! First, savor fresh eggs with rice and freshly laid raw eggs (unlimited eggs) and a bowl of rice with Kishu Umedori chicken and eggs! You can eat as many eggs as you want, so you can even add an extra egg on top of your bowl of rice and chicken and egg! The restaurant is busy with office workers from nearby offices on weekdays, so before the popular barley mixed rice with grated Japanese yam and limited number rice omelette sell out, please come by. After you have satisfied your appetite, let's get some sweets made with fresh eggs at Ranka Hashitama to go! Puddings baked fresh everyday at Ranka Hashitama are rich with the deliciousness of eggs. Its hard to pick one from a variety of cake rolls and donuts. And what is behind these delicious meals and sweets are the fresh eggs sold at Tamago Hashitama. The defined shape of the egg yolk is a testimony to its freshness.
