In this beautifully shot 4K walking video, the viewer is taken on a peaceful nighttime stroll through Chidorigafuchi, one of Tokyo’s premier cherry blossom viewing spots. Captured at its peak on March 31, 2025, the area comes alive after dark with vibrant lights illuminating the tunnel of pink sakura blossoms that line the moats of the Imperial Palace.

Chidorigafuchi is especially renowned during hanami season not just for the sheer volume of cherry trees, but also for the magical atmosphere created by the reflections of blossoms on the serene water below. Lanterns and soft lighting accentuate the blooms, creating an almost surreal environment where petals glisten in the light against the night sky. This location is popular among both locals and tourists who come out to enjoy this ephemeral spectacle each spring.

Despite the late hour, the video shows a lively atmosphere as numerous visitors walk along the winding paths, taking photos and basking in the floral wonderment. The walk captures the infectious joy of hanami season in Japan—where cherry blossoms are not just admired for their beauty, but are a symbol of fleeting life and renewal.

Situated in the Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo, Chidorigafuchi is conveniently accessible and an iconic part of any springtime itinerary in the city. The nighttime illumination, usually held for only a brief window during peak bloom, makes this a must-see event for cherry blossom lovers.

Whether you’re planning a trip for the 2025 sakura season or enjoying it virtually from home, this video by Nonbiri Walk offers a tranquil and immersive experience of Tokyo in springtime.
