Surrounded by nature so rich that it is hard to believe it is in the heart of Tokyo, it is the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll.

The promenade is planted with about 260 cherry trees, which usually bloom from late March to early April, and the beautiful pink color of the blossoms makes it one of the most popular cherry blossom viewing spots in Tokyo.

  • Cherry blossoms bloom on both sides of the moat, creating a beautiful tunnel of sakura.

  • At night, after work, lots of Japanese office workers come here to see the cherry blossoms lit up. There are actually more people at night than during the day.

    This is my top cherry blossom spot in Tokyo! It's right on the west side of the Imperial Palace, and you can even row a boat while admiring the cherry blossoms on both sides.

    This is a super famous spot for cherry blossom viewing around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. The best part is you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while rowing a boat. Such a unique experience!
