Bloomin' Marvellous
It's that special time of the year in Japan, where the citizens can finally enjoy the season that they boast about all year round; cherry blossom viewing (花見 - hanami).
One of the most famous places is the Meguro river, which runs from Keiko's road in Gotanda (lucky girl) all the way to Naka-Meguro. This is one of the first places for the flowers to bloom this year, but it wasn't too crowded.
After that we went to Shibuya and walked through Yoyogi Park (where the Elvis impersonators hang out on Sundays). Because it's Spring Break, lots of groups were out drinking sake under the trees. It was a really great atmosphere.

It looks beautiful and what's more I know where you are talking about which is a bonus. If I remember rightly the cherry blossom season officially began the day we left. Typical. Still we did see quite a lot so can't complain. In case any of your loyal readers are interested we finally have the internet back! Hooray!
