Meguro River is one of Tokyo's best locations for waterside cherry blossoms against an urban setting. During springtime, the river and surrounding area play host to numerous festivals, from daytime performances to nighttime illuminations.
Typically, Meguro River will have several events during cherry blossom season that span multiple days.
Highlights

Daytime festivities
During the day, you can enjoy aesthetic views of pastel blossoms against blue skies and watch fallen petals float gently on the Meguro River. In the past, the river has featured orchestra performances (at Gotanda Fureai Mizube Square) and food trucks selling a variety of cuisines, which are generally available from morning to evening. You will likely see numerous people picnicking on the grassy areas along the river.

For the 2024 festival, the illumination period has been extended to April 14 (previously April 7). There will also be a colored light-up show from 6:50pm–7pm daily.
