The Meguro River is one of Tokyo’s best-known cherry blossom spots. Each spring, rows of sakura bloom along both sides of the river at once, painting the riverside a vivid pink. Cherry blossom cruises are especially popular, offering a relaxed way to view the blossoms in full bloom from the water.

During cherry blossom season each year, several nearby boat operators and cruise companies run Meguro River Cherry Blossom Cruises, with different schedules and routes depending on the operator. It’s well loved for letting you enjoy the sakura in a calm, elegant setting without worrying about crowds on land. Seeing the blossoms reflected on the water, and petals floating on the surface up close, is a special perk of traveling by boat. This spring, take in the peak blooms from the river and enjoy a truly luxurious moment.

    The Meguro River cherry blossom cruise is a seasonal, limited-time flower-viewing activity. Once aboard, you don't have to squeeze through the crowds along the riverbanks and can instead enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom on both sides from a different perspective on the water. As the boat slowly moves along, the trees full of blossoms stretch out from the banks toward the water, with their branches intertwining and hanging down like a pink waterfall pouring overhead. The scenery keeps changing along the way. If you choose an evening cruise, the illuminated cherry blossoms are reflected on the water, adding to the romantic atmosphere. It's a very special cherry blossom viewing experience.

    You can avoid the crowds and enjoy the cherry blossoms along both sides from a totally different perspective.
    Taking an evening boat ride to see the illuminated sakura at night is a whole other visual treat.
