Experience the Beauty of Roses on the Tokyo Sakura Tram
Starting May 1st to May 29th, 2025, the Tokyo Sakura Tram, also known as the Toden Arakawa Line, will delight passengers with a special decorative feature—the 'Toden Rose Train,' adorned with vibrant and charming flower graphics. This unique initiative is a collaboration with Hibiya Kadan, a renowned floral company based in Minato, Tokyo, which specializes in floral design and arrangements.
The Tokyo Sakura Tram is an iconic part of the city’s transportation system, and during the month of May, the train will be decorated with beautiful illustrations of various types of roses that bloom along the route. The highlight of this initiative is the inclusion of the tram's beloved mascot, Toaran, who will be playfully depicted surrounded by roses, bringing a retro yet adorable aesthetic to the train's interior.
Design Details of the Toden Rose Train
The floral graphics have been crafted by top florists from Hibiya Kadan, incorporating a vintage style that is characteristic of the 9002 car. The illustrations not only celebrate the beauty of roses but also capture Toaran’s joyful spirit as it enjoys the flowers. The design aims to evoke a sense of charm and familiarity, making it appealing to passengers of all ages. Throughout the train, passengers will encounter a vibrant mix of floral illustrations, including headmarks and window decorations, creating an immersive experience.
One notable feature will be the headmark adorned with a smiling Toaran framed by colorful roses. This delightful design element will be complemented by further decorations such as window graphics that blend real roses blooming along the line with the illustrated ones, enhancing the overall travel experience.
