After our visit to Shinjuku Garden in the morning on April 7th, we headed south to Meguro. After boarding the train, we realized it was going north! Oops! A quick departure at the next stop and a re-boarding on the correct train is all it took to be back on target. Yes, we do get lost even using a Metro map. Once in Meguro, we descended a very narrow and steep street toward the river. It would be a great sledding hill! :) On the way we stopped at the Daien-ji Buddhist temple. It is unique in that over 200 small Buddha statues serve as a background to the larger Buddha. We eventually made it to the river to view the cherry blossoms. We also stopped at the nearby Meguro Gajoen Hotel. It has a beautiful interior and man-made waterfall and garden. The hotel is a very popular wedding venue. It is famous for its all marble bathroom. The line was so long to get in the bathroom, so unfortunately we didn't see it. Also in this area is the building that Amway occupied before they built in Shibuya. The photos are of the temple, interior display at the hotel, and the river.
