This video by ONLY in JAPAN * GO captures one of Tokyo’s most beautiful and iconic cherry blossom spots, Chidorigafuchi, during peak Sakura season. Set beneath crystal-clear blue skies, the scene is nothing short of magical, offering a serene blend of nature’s beauty and urban serenity. Visitors to the area are greeted with rows of blooming cherry trees, their pink and white petals crowning the waterfront of the Chidorigafuchi moat, creating a mesmerizing tunnel of blossoms.

Chidorigafuchi is a moat located northwest of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo and is widely celebrated as one of the top spots in the city for cherry blossom viewing (hanami). A stroll along the Chidorigafuchi Green Way offers a 700-meter tree-lined path that draws both locals and tourists during spring. The contrast of the blossoms against the pristine blue sky in this video heightens the already breathtaking natural beauty of the area.

The video immerses viewers in the tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere of dip-pink petals floating atop the calm waters, where people can also rent boats to enjoy the blossoms from the moat itself. This time of year, typically late March to early April, sees thousands visit Tokyo’s parks and shrines for seasonal photos, leisurely walks, and hanami picnicking.

This footage not only serves as a visual ode to Japan’s beloved cherry blossom season but also as a helpful travel tip for planning your spring journey. Chidorigafuchi is easily accessible by train, with nearby Kudanshita Station making it a convenient stop for Sakura seekers.
