Megurogawa Hanami

Last week Emi (in the red jacket, below) and I got together for more hanami, this time along the Megurogawa River. Again it was yozakura (night cherry blossoms), since that's all our work schedules allowed, and although the blossoms were at their peak and would have looked lovely in the daytime, I thought they looked pretty nice at night too.

So beautiful! Was this near Nakameguro? The blossoms & photos are lovely, and making me very Tokyo-sick.

Love your night sight pictures.. Did you use a tripod ?

Thanks for the comments!

Suzy, we started at Nakameguro, then walked along the river to Ikejiri Ohashi, turned around and walked past Nakameguro again and then all the way to Meguro! So we saw pretty much the whole thing and although it was pretty the whole way, the blossoms were at their heaviest concentration near Nakameguro.

Aspasia, it made me wonder who wrote that. I wish I had handwriting like that!

Zee, I did indeed bring a tripod, but as I shared with my friend some of these pictures were taken with my camera steadied on a railing).

Gorgeous pictures! Thanks for sharing. Cherry blossoms bloomed a couple of weeks ago here in the US as well. Washington DC looked stunning thanks to the generous gift of the Japanese!

Your photos are absolutely beautiful! Are you a professional photographer?

I'm a Canadian living in Hokkaido and like you fell in love with Japan, its food and people. I really enjoy reading your blog. Thank you.
