Cherry Blossoms by Imperial Palace

The moat outside the Imperial Palace is lined with cherry trees and is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo, named Chidorigafuchi because the water resembles a flying bird. From March to April every year, hundreds of cherry trees on both sides of the Chidorigafuchi moat are in full bloom, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Chidorigafuchi is a cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo, and the Hundreds of Cherry Trees in Full Bloom along the river attracts visitors from all over the world during March and April every spring. A boat ride to see the cherry blossoms up close is their first choice. The petals overhead gently fall on the water in a warm breeze, creating a sea of flowers.

Manywhere Trivia:
Japan is usually called the land of cherry blossoms, but in fact, the national flower of Japan is the chrysanthemum, as well as the Imperial Seal of Japan.

Boating on a Sea of Flowers

However, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it’s not easy to rent a boat and you may have to wait for hours, so the Chidorigafuchi Promenade 千鳥ヶ淵緑道 on the bank is also a good choice.
