Mesmerising Cherry Blossom Stroll Along The Meguro River In Tokyo, Japan 日本追樱记 2016: 穿行樱花隧道之中, 东京目黑川18/6/2016 This walk in Tokyo is enjoyable at any time of year, but it is particularly lovely when the cherry blossoms are blooming. Every person in Tokyo has her favorite spot. It is hard to declare where the most beautiful sakura blossoms are, or where the best place to view them would be as well as describe how beautiful it is to be completely surrounded by Cherry Blossoms...... Nakameguro is a beautiful neighborhood in Tokyo with trees of Cherry Blossoms on Meguro River running through it. Cherry trees line both sides of the river, starting from Nakameguro Station and running in both directions. The best way to enjoy sakura around the Meguro River is to stroll along the rows of sakura there. I strolled along the paths along the river and it was amazing to see this transformation. In April they were in full bloom. 目黑川是被称为 “东京哲学之道”,两岸种植了800多株的染井吉野樱,每逢三四月间,盛开的樱花仿佛花之走廊,掩映于河面之上。随着花瓣飘落,水面会变成粉色的樱花溪流。沿着目黑川漫步,能感受到都市中难得的安逸恬静,不同于其他赏樱名所一般人山人海,在这你可以照着自己的步伐,静静观赏壮丽的染井吉野樱。 象征着喜悦的樱花,华美绚烂的绽放,着实令人期待。虽然已经不是第一次赏樱了,但是,这是我第一次在东京赏樱。。。所以,选择知名度颇高的目黑川。在河岸边樱花道、列车窗外风景,或有城廓的公园,寻找只属于日本独特风格的樱花风景。 The Meguro River used to be an important water resource for farming in the area. The river used to be very narrow and really shallow, hence frequently caused floods. So during the 1980s they decided to widen the river to lower the risk of flooding. Then cherry trees were first planted to celebrate the day the project done and also to improve the landscape of the river. Later, more cherry trees were added several times over decades. Now, Nakameguro is a home to more than 800 of cherry trees lined stretch along the quiet Meguro River. 目黑川到此处渐渐变窄,而两岸的樱花交错重叠、争放竞艳,远远望去,似一抹抹飘逸云彩的簇拥,靠近细赏,又能品味到独樱的纤细极致。 Most of the cherry trees planted along this river are the Somei Yoshino cherry trees, a type of cherry blossom that makes more than 80 percent of cherry blossom growing in Japan. There are two main reasons why they are so popular. The first is that the leaves won't show up until after full bloom. So it's easier to view the flowers as the foliage won't get in the way, giving a stunning homogeneous look of the tree for the viewers. The other reason that I found is the Somei Yoshino cherry tree has more rapid growth rate than other species. They will be full grown and start to bloom at about 10 years old. This is a very popular spot, especially on weekends. It is mainly the elderly and the very young who sit beneath the branches and collectively sigh as a gust of wind releases a shower of petals called a hana fubuki (flower blown snow). The youngest chase the falling flowers whilst the oldies halfheartedly try to catch a petal in their sake cups. It is a very lovely spot to linger a while either marveling at the fragility of these beautiful flowers or gazing at the forceful river, itself blanketed in pretty pink petals. You will soon find yourself on the Meguro Shinbashi bridge, with the Meguro River, now hemmed in by concrete walls so that it resembles more of a canal, swiftly flowing beneath you. Looking upriver will give you one of those many breathtaking moments that occur in Japan. Both banks of the river are heavily planted with sakura trees, and at this time of the year they are brimming with petals that shimmer and scatter on the smallest of breezes. Walking along the banks is a delight. I walked the length of the canal until I reached one of the small bridges that cross the river. How far you walk is up to you. You can then return via the opposite bank. Alternatively, you can walk until you reach Nakameguro Station, and then return home from there. 每走一段就有一座桥,在桥上欣赏路两旁繁茂的樱树,是最好的视角。 The flowers became waves of colors and scents as many visitors enjoyed taking their photos and being surrounded by them. 每张景致都觉得赏心悦目,全都展示出来吧。长焦端。这个视角感觉最美妙。 目黑川的樱花都是沿川展开,樱花季和两边的人行道,几乎樱花树包围。 The image of a canopy of cherry blossom that formed a flowery roof over the sparkling river did mesmerize me. Looking from far away, the flowers just painted the sky in pink. It was so amazingly gorgeous. A beautiful and calming sight that must be experienced. During Spring in Japan, the blossoms win. They are only here for such a fleeting time, after all.
本次中目黑的赏樱之旅以这张沿途视角完美结束。樱花蕴含了一整年的能量,就在那个月释放,而自己又何其有幸,能参与了它最灿烂的短暂美好时光。 作为经典的传统赏樱胜地,在目黑川既能欣赏到樱花盛开时的绚烂,也能欣赏到花落时节花瓣纷飞,将整条目黑川盖上一条粉色的绒毯。
