Cherry Blossom near Tokyo Imperial Palace

Discover one of Tokyo's most famous sakura spots

Located near the Imperial Palace and the Yasukuni Shrine, Chidorigafuchi Is a national Japanese cemetery and memorial for around 350,000 unidentified war dead of the Second World War. Despite its gloomy background, Chidorigafuchi is, once a year during hanami (the ‘cherry blossom season’), one of Tokyo’s hottest places to enjoy the cherry blossoms either by walking along Chidorigafuchi’s moat or by boat if you are patient enough to wait for hours before being able to rent one.

It seemed to me at first that there are no people at all. It is such a great video, very nice to see because I actually missed that one this year.

Yep they are! You should definitively try! But be ready to wait a good hour before being able to get one of these boat.

I loved all the scenes with rowboats and cherry blossom! I also appreciated being able to hear voices, traffic and birdsong in this video!
