The cherry blossoms season has almost finished here in Tokyo. However, it is still not too late to enjoy the blossoms at Meguro river. I especially recommend the Nakameguro area (sometimes also written Naka-Meguro): Lots of food stalls, champagne with strawberries, funky fashion stores, bonsai shops and of course breathtakingly beautiful cherry blossoms along the river. It might be crowded, but it is definitely worth it.

![There are a few bridges and the view from every bridge is slightly different. The bridges closer to the station are rather crowded I am afraid. You might need to queue for about 2 minutes before getting to the front and taking a photo, but as I said, it is worth it.](https://a0.cdn.japantravel.com/photo/19680-112079/1000/tokyo-nakameguro-cherry-blossoms-tokyo-112079.jpg)
