Sailing through the cherry blossom waterway, the scenery on both sides is picturesque

On the left bank of Tokyo Bay, Minato Ward, you are really enjoying yourself! During the cherry blossom season, taking a boat tour in Minato Ward, Tokyo, is a wise choice. Boarding locations can be chosen at the Ishikawa Pleasure Boat Pier in Shibaura 4-chome of Minato Ward, with the option of large pleasure boats that seat more than 30 people, or a smaller 'yakatabune' houseboat for a group of 6 to 10 people. Choosing a 'yakatabune' allows you to bring food and drinks, sitting on the boat while enjoying the beautiful scenery and tasting delicious food, which is very pleasant. The boat departs from Shibaura, sails along the canal waterway, and reaches the Meguro River, a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing in Tokyo, before returning. The round trip takes about 1.5 hours. Let's summarize the timeline for the cherry blossom season in 2024: After entering April, the weather is cold and rainy, with low temperatures and strong winds, which are not conducive to the growth and viewing of cherry blossoms. Therefore, this year's cherry blossom season is slightly delayed compared to previous years. April 1-3, the buds begin to bloom, ready to burst forth; April 4-9, the flowers gradually bloom fully, entering the peak bloom period; April 10-14, the falling petals are like a blizzard of cherry blossoms, and the branches are filled with green leaves. The cherry blossom seasons in the following years will not be the same, but can be used as a reference.
