Meguro River Hanami

Posted on 29 August 2009 by supergaijin

Location: Get off the train at Meguro Station and walk across the road to the river. Follow the hourdes of sightseers

Meguro river has over 800 trees which line the narrow river which meanders through the bustile of trendy Meguro and neigboring areas. This is a popular youth area in Tokyo and you will find the riverside walk crowded with youth and families. At night time there are lanterns strung along the river which illuminate the cherry blossoms and make for a lovely evening stroll. There are plenty of yatai (stalls) selling all manner of food and alcohol.
