Cherry Blossoms around the Meguro River / 目黒川の桜

The end of March and the beginning of April is hanami season in Tokyo. It is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and people gather around to view them. These days its just an excuse to get together with friends and drink in public. Of course the cherry blossoms are a constant. As my friends and I are having our hanami the following week, I spent this day walking around Tokyo, checking out different areas of the cherry blossoms.

三月の下旬と四月の上旬は花見の季節。桜が満開になって、あっちこっちに人が桜を見ながら、楽しい時間を過ごしてる。僕は友達と花見をするのは翌週なんで、今回の一人休みに東京桜鑑賞巡りに出かけた。最初の桜名所に行ったのは目黒川。

The Coliseum-like building on the left is the recently opened Ohashi Junction which connects this area to Shinjuku with an underground tunnel.

One last look at the cherry blossoms at Meguro River. I next headed off to the Hama Rikyu Gardens.
