    Chidorigafuchi Green Way is one of Tokyo’s classic cherry blossom spots. When the sakura are in full bloom on both sides, walking along the moat feels like watching cherry blossoms cascade down like a waterfall. During the day, the sight of small boats gently drifting on the water is incredibly relaxing.

    However, once night falls and the cherry blossoms are lit up, that peaceful feeling seems to belong only to the people out on the water. On the shore, the real photography battle is just getting started. The nighttime sakura were beautiful, but the competition for photo spots along the bank was so intense that after quickly pressing the shutter a few times, I decided to leave the battlefield early and head home!

    Visiting Chidorigafuchi during cherry blossom season was truly moving. The cherry blossoms in full bloom on both sides of the path formed a soft pink sea of flowers. When the breeze blew, the petals slowly drifted down, making it feel as romantic as a movie scene.

    We strolled and took photos along the way, and every few steps we couldn’t help but stop to admire the view. The cherry blossoms reflected on the moat were beautiful from every angle. It’s no wonder so many people come here every year to see the sakura. If you have the chance to visit when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it will definitely leave you with unforgettable memories.

    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.
