What other travelers are saying about Chidorigafuchi Park
Although the park is located a bit far from the city center, the distance is well worth it. One of the things I appreciated most was that it wasn’t overly crowded, which made the whole experience feel more peaceful and enjoyable. Out of all the parks I visited in Tokyo, this one easily had the most stunning scenery—lush greenery, serene water views, and beautifully maintained landscapes that felt almost like stepping into a painting. The air was noticeably fresh and clean, adding to the overall sense of calm. I highly recommend trying the boating experience here—it was both relaxing and fun, offering a unique way to take in the natural beauty of the park. It’s definitely a hidden gem and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Today was my first visit: Spring 30 March 2025.
The sakura trees are 95% full blooms here in Chidorigafuchi Park.
It was as magical as expected.
It’s can get very crowded, and the local official can be around to redirect walking traffic to one way path.
Go there as early in the day as possible to have more space for photo.
In Japan, chidori, meaning “thousand birds” and gafuchi mean “plover’s pond”
A unique experience to enjoy Sakura festival in Tokyo. But make sure to go there earlier in the morning. So many people flocking. Especially after dark, since they light up the trees after 6 pm
Lovely sights and just a short walk away from the train station.
Came early in the season in hopes to see some cherry blossoms but the trees are a punctual bunch and runs a strict schedule, so they refused to let me see the flowers early.
I urge others to not come early like me, as the trees run a tight ship and do not need clueless tourists confusing them when they’re working hard to bloom some flower. 10/10
