Description
The beauty of hanami on the Meguro River is that you can enjoy the cherry blossoms for an extended period of time, from the first bloom to the stunning "flower rafts." And believe us when we say that the view from the boat is completely different from that on land — it's an experience you won't want to miss!
Embarking from Tennouzu Yamatsu Pier and sailing through the water gate, the Meguro River unfolds before you, revealing a stunning springtime panorama adorned with cherry blossoms.
This delightful cruise can be enjoyed by travelers of all ages. The cherry blossoms here are renowned for their unique appearance at different stages of blooming.
You can relish the mesmerizing beauty of the cherry blossoms from the pre-bloom phase to the full bloom phase, and even after the petals have fallen, you can revel in the stunning sight of cherry blossom snowstorms!
Here's what you can expect to see during the various phases of cherry blossom blooming:
- Before blooming to full bloom: The Somei Yoshino cherry trees gradually begin to bloom.
- Full bloom to a few days after full bloom: The Someiyoshino cherry trees are in full bloom, and the river is adorned with cherry blossom petals. The weeping cherry trees in front of Hotel Gajoen Tokyo start to bloom.
- Approximately 1 week to 10 days after the Someiyoshino cherry blossoms bloom: Double-layered cherry trees in Osaki and Gotanda begin to bloom. Gotanda is especially spectacular, showcasing an array of various double-layered cherry trees at their finest.
The cruise will take approximately 70 minutes, passing through Ebara Shrine, Osaki, Gotanda, and culminating in a turnaround in front of Hotel Gajoen Tokyo.
