Sakura by the River: Springtime Magic in Nakameguro

Cherry blossoms in full bloom line the Meguro River, their fallen petals flowing on the water, illuminated by soft lantern light—a magical spring scene. A quiet stroll or a coffee break at a riverside café makes for the perfect hanami experience. For a calmer visit, come early in the morning or on a weekday. Event Period: March 19-30, 2025 (varies by bloom status) Location: Along the Meguro River, just steps from Nakameguro Station (Tokyu Toyoko Line) Illumination: From 5:00PM to 8:00 PM (during the festival period) Peak Crowds: Weekends, afternoon to evening (early mornings or weekdays are quieter) Restrooms: Available at the station, nearby parks, and commercial facilities Access: Public transportation recommended; driving is discouraged due to heavy traffic and limited parking #aprilblooms #springinjapan
