Cherry blossom, definitely the most popular flower in Japan is called "Sakura" in our language. Surely it is popular because of its beauty, but also many of us are impressed the thing that Sakura only blooms for a short time. Japanese like fleeting things, including me.
Most of us love cherry blossom. And as I explained, since you can enjoy seeing it for a short time, many people rush into the famous place for that. Here, Meguro-river is one of them in Tokyo. Countless number of cherry blossoms are along the river and so were countless number of people :) It's so great, unforgettable scenery.
I went to there twice early in the April. First time, it was full bloom there. You must have been surprised how beautiful it is if you came at that moment.
But second time I went, though it was only three days later, they already started falling. Well, don't be disappointed. Falling cherry blossom is touching as well and some people likes it better than its full bloom.
Since many people gather and enjoy taking a walk there, naturally many restaurants and stores sell drinks and foods at the stall alongside the river. I drunk a sparkling wine and kabab.
While I don't tend to drink outside because I don't like seeing people get drunk, I felt like drinking with this goodly place. So I did. That was a wonderful experience for me !
