A river of petals threads through central Tokyo as the tour vehicle drops you near Yaesu Sakura Dori and the Meguro canals—blossoms arch overhead like a seasonal canopy daring you to slow down. The drive moves through pockets of spring: a temple roof, manicured hedges, and then the gate of Hama‑Rikyu, where a formal garden laid out in the Edo period waits beside tidal waters.
