Meguro River

Tokyo's most famous cherry blossom walk.

Nearly 800 cherry trees arch over this canal. In late March it becomes Japan's most photographed sakura tunnel; the rest of the year it's a calm riverside walk between cafes.

Landscape · Along the canal

Shoot down the canal from any small bridge — the parallel rows of trees create a natural tunnel over the water.
