Since it is basically a road, this is a great cherry blossom spot even in the early morning.
It is best to go early in the morning or early evening, as it is dangerous to trip over the tracks at night. If you go early in the morning, you may find it easier to spend your time because there are fewer people. The cherry blossoms all to yourself will also be a memorable experience.
