The Kanda river itself isn't much to look at: It's essentially a concrete-lined viaduct. The real attraction here are the Sakura trees which line the banks and transform this concrete channel into heaven on Earth, for one brief week. The blossoms will disappear as quickly as they arrived.

I am a former- and future-Tokyoite, and a designer here at Everywhere. I think that no city is too big, no coffee is too cold, and no music is too minimal. I have a particular fondness for bourbon, uneven numbers, and taking photos of power lines.
