A Famous Cherry Blossom Spot in Tokyo with 4km of Cherry Trees Lined Together.
The Meguro River flows through the Setagaya, Meguro, and Shinagawa wards of Tokyo until it reaches Tokyo Bay.
From around the Tokyo Den-en-toshi Line’s Ikejiri-Ohashi Station to Shimomeguro, there are around 800 Yoshino cherry trees lined up along the 4km stretch of river.
During cherry blossom season from late March through early April, the area is packed with people thanks to the cherry blossom festivals and nighttime illuminations.
There are plenty of unique restaurants and shops in the area too, so it’s a great place to take a walk even outside of springtime.

During the Meguro River Cherry Blossom Festival, 800 cherry trees bloom all at once—it's absolutely beautiful and impressive. But the crowds are also huge! At night, the illuminated cherry blossoms are a whole different kind of gorgeous.
There are tons of cherry trees planted along the Meguro River. At the end of March, the cherry blossoms form a spectacular pink tunnel. The best way to enjoy the 4-kilometer stretch of blossoms is by taking a river cruise. At night, the crowds get bigger, and there are lots of food stalls along the way, so you won't go hungry. The nighttime cherry blossom lights are on until 9 p.m.
Both sides of the riverbank are covered with cherry blossoms. The pink and white flowers are especially beautiful.
I recommend coming on a weekday so it's not too crowded. After taking photos, you can relax at a nearby café.
If you want to see cherry blossoms, you definitely have to come here! I visited in March and the flowers were absolutely breathtaking!
