[Image1][Spring Stop]Cherry blossoms in full bloom decorated the stops (stations) along the TodenArakawaLine

[Spring Stop]
Cherry blossoms in full bloom decorated the stops (stations) along the TodenArakawaLine (Tokyo Sakura Tram). The tram offers an all-day ticket for just 400 yen, making it very affordable, and there are many sights to see from Minowa Station to Waseda Station. Lately I have been photographing it as a lifelong project. At night, when the nightscape takes over, the overhead wires seem to disappear and a different scene appears.

    Thank you very much for participating in the 33rd COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest – Spring in Japan.

    We sincerely congratulate you on being selected as an excellent work among many submissions.

    The judges' comments are as follows.
    =====
    This is a spring-themed photo featuring full-bloom cherry blossoms at Arakawa-Nichōme Station on the Toden Arakawa Line (Tokyo Sakura Tram). The scene of the traditional streetcar slowly approaching the stop evokes a sense of familiarity typical of Tokyo's downtown, combined with the splendor unique to the cherry blossom season.

    Along the line from Sanno-bashi to Waseda, the remnants of Tokyo's charm in daily life are evident, and this work conveys the joy of the photographer's continued visits as a lifelong endeavor.

    The daytime cherry blossom scenery is beautiful, and the charm of the Tokyo Sakura Tram line, which shows a different expression at night, makes this excellent work a must-see spot for cherry blossom viewing in Arakawa-ku and a highlight of spring tourism in Tokyo.
