Spring comes with Sakura in Japan.
Because Sakura bloom around April, a turning point of school, work, Sakura is symbol of beginning to me, and I am sure many other Japanese must feel the same.
Today, I will introduce you the best Hanami spot!
Sakura blooms only few weeks, so you better go there soon!
800 Sakura trees are planted along 4km of Meguro river.
This place is really easy to access.
Also, because Meguro area is lively area, people enjoy eating at terrace and shopping while they watch at Sakura.
