Meguro River Cherry Blossom Cruise

The Meguro River is one of Tokyo’s best-known cherry blossom spots. Each spring, rows of sakura bloom along both sides of the river at once, painting the riverside a vivid pink. Cherry blossom cruises are especially popular, offering a relaxed way to view the blossoms in full bloom from the water.

During cherry blossom season each year, several nearby boat operators and cruise companies run Meguro River Cherry Blossom Cruises, with different schedules and routes depending on the operator. It’s well loved for letting you enjoy the sakura in a calm, elegant setting without worrying about crowds on land. Seeing the blossoms reflected on the water, and petals floating on the surface up close, is a special perk of traveling by boat. This spring, take in the peak blooms from the river and enjoy a truly luxurious moment.
