Unlike the quiet moments of hanami found in parks, Meguro River offers a livelier, fast-moving experience.
The narrow riverside path is lined with blooming cherry trees, drawing crowds that leave little room to pause. Here, hanami means walking — a steady flow of people enjoying the blossoms as they move through the city. It’s less about reflection, more about the energy: the mix of sakura, lanterns, and the buzz of voices and camera shutters.
Captured with the GR III, these images trace the vivid blend of spring and city life along the Meguro River. ■
公園で過ごす静かな花見とは違い、目黒川沿いの花見には、よりにぎやかで流れの速い体験がある。
狭い川沿いの道には桜が咲き並び、多くの人が訪れて、立ち止まる余白はほとんどない。ここでの花見は、歩くことそのものだ。人々は街を移動しながら、途切れない流れの中で桜を楽しんでいる。静かに眺めるというより、桜、提灯、人の声、カメラのシャッター音が混ざり合う、そのエネルギーを感じる場所だった。
GR IIIで撮影したこの写真では、目黒川沿いに広がる春と都市生活の鮮やかな重なりをたどった。■
