Overview

Chidorigafuchi Green Way is a roughly 700-meter-long promenade developed along the outer moat of the Imperial Palace. In the Edo period, Chidorigafuchi served as a water-based defensive structure. Today, it's known as one of Tokyo's premier cherry blossom viewing locations. During the "Chiyoda Sakura Matsuri" (Chiyoda Cherry Blossom Festival), held annually from late March to early April, approximately 260 cherry trees burst into bloom, beautifully illuminated at night. The enchanting sight of the blossoms reflected in the water captivates many visitors. Chidorigafuchi Green Way features a publicly-operated boat rental area, offering a unique perspective of the cherry blossoms from the water. A boat ride adds a special charm to the experience, allowing you to enjoy the scenery from a different angle. Chidorigafuchi Green Way is conveniently located near historical structures and parks, including the Imperial Palace, Yasukuni Shrine, and Kokyo Higashi Gyoen National Garden, making it easy to incorporate into your sightseeing itinerary. The Nippon Budokan (Japanese martial arts hall) is also within walking distance, making it a perfect post-event or post-concert stroll. If you're seeking a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle, a place to relax and appreciate the beauty of cherry blossoms, Chidorigafuchi Green Way is the ideal destination.
