Chidorigafuchi Park

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

This one is another beautiful park to visit in Tokyo to view Cherry blossom. Visited it on 7th April afternoon. The view of Cherry blossom along the Hanzo moat was simply magical. From the park, the path leading to the Imperial Palace east garden is a nice walk and in the evenings the cherry blossom glowing in the light is another unforgettable experience. Even without cherry blossom the walk along the moat in the evening is quite nice.

Walked through the park just before peak blossoms had arrived (April 1). It's a small park, but we included it on our walk around the entire Imperial Palace park. Enjoyed the views of the moat.

Left from Kudanshita station and took a 10 min walk. There are many Sakura tress along the roads and river where you can take photos. Flowering time varies from late March to Mid-Apr. Suggest you go at early Apr as the weather is not very stable in recent years. These photos were taken on 28 March 2023. Hope it helps!

Cherry Blossom Viewing: One of the main attractions of Chidorigafuchi Park is its breathtaking cherry blossoms that line the banks of the moat surrounding the nearby Imperial Palace. During cherry blossom season, usually in late March to early April, the park becomes a popular spot for hanami (cherry blossom viewing) picnics and leisurely strolls beneath the delicate pink and white blossoms. Boat Rentals: Visitors can rent rowboats to paddle along the tranquil waters of the moat, offering a unique perspective of the cherry blossoms and surrounding scenery. The rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There may be long queues or high demand during peak season so it's advisable to arrive early in the day to secure a spot or be prepared to wait in line. Walking Path: The park features a scenic walking path that follows the edge of the moat, offering picturesque views of the cherry trees, historic stone walls, and traditional Japanese architecture. It's a popular route for leisurely walks and nature photography, especially during cherry blossom season when the trees are in full bloom.
