The Meguro River Cherry Blossom Promenade is one of Tokyo's most enchanting hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spots, featuring over 800 cherry trees lining a 4-kilometer stretch of the river. During peak bloom, the trees form a stunning pink canopy that reflects beautifully on the water, creating a magical atmosphere both day and night. In the evening, the blossoms are illuminated by lanterns, enhancing the romantic ambiance. The promenade is also dotted with cafes, restaurants, and pop-up stalls offering seasonal treats, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll or a festive outing. Its combination of natural beauty, urban charm, and lively energy makes it a favorite destination for locals and tourists alike during sakura season.

The Imperial Household Agency Shin-Hama Duck Hunting Grounds (Shin-Hama Kamoba) is a private hunting reserve located in the coastal area of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It has been used by the Imperial Family for centuries for traditional wild duck hunting during the winter season. The grounds are managed by the Imperial Household Agency and are not open to the public. The area is an important part of Japan’s royal heritage, where duck hunting has been a longstanding custom. The wetlands, rivers, and marshes that make up the hunting grounds provide a rich environment for a variety of wildlife, particularly migratory ducks, making it a prime location for the Imperial hunting tradition. In addition to its historical significance, the Shin-Hama Duck Hunting Grounds also serve as a protected ecological space. Efforts to preserve the natural environment and wildlife in the area are closely maintained. While access to the grounds is highly restricted, it remains an iconic site connected to Japan’s imperial culture and traditions.
