Though I visited during the non-cherry blossom season, the peace and tranquility of this place has my heart. I can only imagine how this place transforms during the Sakura season.
A quiet lane running parallel to the lake is ideal for a leisurely walk. The near by lanes and by-lanes (leading upto Meguro station) too offer beautiful views of the city, lake and blossoms.
🌸 Meguro River Cherry Blossoms Festival - A Magical Spring Experience 🌸
Visiting the Meguro River during cherry blossom season is an absolute must! The stunning sakura trees lining the river create a breathtaking pink tunnel, especially when illuminated at night. The reflections on the water add an ethereal charm, making it a dreamlike spot for photos.
The festival vibes are fantastic, with food stalls offering delicious snacks and drinks like sakura-themed cocktails and treats. It can get crowded, but the atmosphere is lively and joyful, with everyone soaking in the beauty of spring.
Pro tip: Arrive early in the evening for a good spot to enjoy the lights and blossoms. Wear comfortable shoes and take your time strolling along the river—each view is better than the last!
Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Tokyo in spring. Truly a magical experience that showcases Japan’s love for nature and beauty. 🌸✨

If you're already in the area, it's a great walking / bike path along the river.
We passed by a kebab shop which smell delicious & grabbed a snack along the way 🌟
You can't visit Japan without taking a walking tour and seeing the sights, this includes the Meguro River. We visited in the off season, so no cherry blossoms for us however beautiful nonetheless.
