Sakura Season is really starting to blossom. Would you believe that Google Map actually identifies areas where Sakura present and their bloom status. One place that has received a lot of attention is the Meguro River.
Besides Sakura, in the Meguro River area is Pizzeria de Michele. The plan of the day came together quickly and I was able to convince Dina and two of her kids to join me.
Lunch at Pizzeria de Michele, followed by a walk along the Meguro River to view the Sakura.
The pizza was just as amazing. Eme said it was her favorite pizza place in Japan. I couldn’t agree more!
After lunch, we took a 20-minute walk up and over a hill to the Meguro River walk. The Sakura were lovely.
We walked along one side, crossed the bridge, and then came down the other side. The other side had fuller blooms and at times gave the feeling of being surrounded by the Sakura. At night, the lanterns light up!
Along the way down the other side, we stopped for Sakura mochi. Because Japan!
As we made our way to the train station, we passed several different varieties of Sakura. The first were white!
The other set were bright pink along an office building.
Sakura Season is so beautiful. It was interesting to see how many people were there walking along the river. On a weekday!
