Finally, We would like to share the good cycling and cherry blossoms viewing spot.

It is called Kitazawagawa Greenway.

This is beside the small stream called “Kitazawagawa”.

Meguro river ends at Nakameguro, and after Nakameguro, it becomes to a few small streams, and this is one of them.

This Kitazawagawa Greenway goes from Toho university medical center Ohashi hospital in Ikejiri Ohashhi to all the way toward Shimokitazawa.
