Adachi City Urban Agricultural Park is a riverside park at the corner of Arakawa River and Shin-Shibakawa River growing many varieties of cherry blossoms including those from Washington, DC planted here in 1981-82.

The most prominent cherry blossoms from Washington, DC are the Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms named "America." They bloom in late March along Shin-Shibakawa River.

These Somei-Yoshino "America" cherry blossoms are right behind the park's Visitors' Center. The America trees stretch along Shin-Shibakawa River for a few hundred meters, one of the park's major cherry blossom clusters.
