Didn’t make it when sakura was in bloom, but I did take a walk along meguro river. It was after visiting a friend’s photo gallery in Osaki. The weather was good and we decided to take a walk to Naka-meguro station (instead of being lazy and taking the Yamanote line). As you can see from the map, it’s quite a stroll. I think we took about 1.5~2 hours just strolling along the river. From Osaki there are some pathways for people out on a stroll. Sometimes the pathway is only on one side of the river whilst there’s a narrow road on the other side. So if you happen to find yourself on a road with cars parked along it, you might want to look for the nearest bridge and walk across. Just point in any direction along the river and you’ll see a bridge ^^.
It’s really green now, but I can’t wait to go back next year when sakura is in full bloom! You know any good places for a weekend stroll?

There is one in Nakayama (I think), one of the end stations of the green line. Maybe we will go there on one of the days during GW.

Think I’ve heard of it. We can try that. But I think it’s really going to be crowded during Golden Week!
