Japan's No.1 cherry blossom spot: a vibrant tunnel woven with pink petals and emerald waters::Tokyo::Chidorigafuchi

At Chidorigafuchi, you can choose to stroll along the pathways, feeling cherry blossom petals fluttering down from above, or take a hand-rowed boat gliding through the spring waters dotted with blooming cherry trees, admiring the full blooms from the water’s surface. Interestingly, unlike Ueno Park, which has designated hanami (cherry blossom viewing) picnic areas, all spots for enjoying your hanami bento under the cherry trees here are “created” spaces—whether it’s squeezing onto a small stone at the base of a tree or finding room between two low shrubs... Japanese hanami visitors skillfully carve out moments of leisure amid the limited green spaces.Click to see detailed attraction information
