Cherry Blossoms at Chidorigafuchi
Nicole BauerChidorigafuchi, the moat around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo is surely one of the prime spots for hanami (cherry blossom viewing) in the city and always worth a visit.
The Chidorigafuchi Trench is one of the best places in Tokyo to see the cherry blossoms in spring, from late March to early April. This 700-meter walk next to the Imperial Palace moat offers beautiful scenery and great opportunities for discovery.
During the popular cherry blossom season, the paths along the moat are colored pink by hundreds of cherry trees. The trees are also lit at night during the Chiyoda Sakura Cherry Blossom Festival. A little later in the year the surface of the water is almost completely covered by falling petals. Many couples rent boats and take a romantic excursion through this pink wonderland.
Nearby attractions include Yasukuni Shrine, Showa National Memorial Museum, Nippon Budokan, and the Jimbocho Bookseller District.

Hailed as one of the most beautiful places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo, Chidorigafuchi receives over one million visitors every year for the spring season. Head to the 700 meter long Chidorigafuchi Green Way walking path to discover a tunnel of cherry blossom. Seating along the bank of the moat is extremely limited so arrive extra early if you’re wanting to sit and admire the flowers all day. For a more surreal vista of the flowers admire their beauty at night when the trees are illuminated from sunset to 10 pm.
Boat rentals are available from March to November every year and offer a great way to see the moat, or cherry blossoms if the season is right. It only costs 500 yen for 30 minutes during the offseason and 800 yen for 30 minutes during the cherry blossom season. Wonder in awe as your row through the moat decorated with a blanket of soft pink petals.
Chidorigafuchi Cemetery interred some 350,000 war casualty civilians and soldiers from World War II from air raids and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The monument built in the remembrance of the ugliness of war is a simple and somber one, but impressive nonetheless. The cemetery is accessible between the moat and Yasukuni Shrine.
Chidorigafuchi is directly adjacent to Exit 2 at Kudanshita Station.

During my first visit to Tokyo I was lucky to arrive in March and stay right through April, the cherry blossom season. I visited the Indian embassy in Kudanshita, and that was when I saw the blossoms in its full glory at the Chidorigafuchi Gardens just outside the premises.
1998年に初めて東京を訪れた時、偶然にも3月到着し、4月一杯滞在するという幸運に恵まれた。そう、たまたま桜のシーズンだったのだ。これは全くの偶 然で計画したわけではなかった。インド大使館へ行く用があり、そのすぐ外にある千鳥ヶ淵庭園に咲く満開の桜を目撃したのだ。これが私の初めての桜体験だっ た。東京には桜を楽しめる場所がたくさんある。しかしこの千鳥ヶ淵庭園は、桜を初めて見た思い出の場所として、永遠に私の心の中に生き続けるだろう。今年 (2014) は夜行ってみることにしたが、期待通りだった。読者の皆さんも気に入ってくれると嬉しい。

Chidorigafuchi, parit di sekitar Imperial Palace merupakan salah satu tempat utama untuk hanami (melihat sakura) di kota dan selalu patut dikunjungi, terutama saat mekar sepenuhnya, atau bahkan menjelang akhir musim bunga sakura, saat kelopaknya jatuh di atas air sangat indah untuk disaksikan.
Selama kunjungan pertama saya ke Tokyo pada tahun 1998, saya cukup beruntung untuk tiba pada bulan Maret dan tinggal tepat hingga April, musim bunga sakura. Pengalaman pertama ini tidak benar-benar direncanakan. Saya mengunjungi kedutaan besar India di Kudanshita, dan saat itulah saya melihat bunga dalam mekar penuh di Kebun Chidorigafuchi di luar tempat. Ada banyak tempat di Tokyo di mana Anda dapat menikmati bunga, tapi pengalaman pertama bagi saya akan selalu ada taman ini. Di lain kesempatan saya melakukan perjalanan di malam hari dan saya tidak kecewa. Semoga Anda menyukai koleksi foto ini.

Trong chuyến thăm đầu tiên của tôi đến Tokyo vào năm 1998, tôi đã may mắn đến đây vào tháng 3 và ở đây trong suốt trong tháng 4, mùa hoa anh đào. Trải nghiệm đầu tiên này không thực sự được lên kế hoạch. Tôi đã đến thăm đại sứ quán Ấn Độ ở Kudanshita, và đó là khi tôi nhìn thấy những bông hoa rực rỡ trong vườn Chidorigafuchi ngay bên ngoài khu đất.

The Nippon Budokan, located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is one of Japan’s most iconic cultural and sporting venues. Originally built for the judo competition in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the Budokan has evolved into a revered hall for both martial arts and music performances. Its name, meaning "Martial Arts Hall of Japan," reflects its traditional purpose. Designed with a distinct octagonal roof inspired by Yumedono at Horyu-ji Temple, the building represents a blend of modern construction and traditional Japanese aesthetics. While still regularly hosting national martial arts tournaments such as kendo, aikido, and karate, the Budokan is perhaps equally famous among international visitors for its storied history as a concert venue. In 1966, The Beatles became the first rock band to perform there, sparking controversy at the time due to the venue’s sacred association with martial arts. Since then, legendary artists like Bob Dylan, Queen, and Japanese icons such as X Japan and Hikaru Utada have performed here, making it a pilgrimage site for music lovers. The Budokan is located within Kitanomaru Park, part of the former Edo Castle grounds, which adds natural beauty and historical depth to any visit. The surrounding area, including the Imperial Palace and Chidorigafuchi Moat, is also known for its scenic cherry blossoms in spring. Whether you're attending a martial arts event, a concert, or simply enjoying the park and its historical foundation, the Nippon Budokan offers a unique blend of culture, history, and entertainment.
The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, (abbreviated as MOMAT) is Japan’s first national art museum. The museum was initially founded in 1952 in Chuo Ward, before it was relocated in 1969 to its larger present-day location in Chiyoda Ward beside the Imperial Palace. The sleek facility was designed by architect Yoshio Taniguchi and has undergone multiple renovations and expansions to meet its ever-growing collection. The main building itself extends 4,500 square meters, making it one of Japan’s largest art museums. Aside from the main building, MOMAT also includes the Crafts Gallery, which opened in 1977. This gallery is located in the former Imperial Guards headquarters and is a beautiful example of western-style brick architecture from the Meiji period. The museum has an impressive collection of about 13,000 Japanese- and Western-style pieces from the early 20th century to present day and displays about 200 works at a time. The main hall generally features paintings, prints, watercolors, drawings, sculptures, and photographs, while the Crafts Gallery displays ceramics, glasswork, lacquerware, woodwork, bamboo work, graphic design, and more. MOMAT also includes a museum shop and a French-and-Italian-fusion restaurant.

Le nom «Yasukuni» donné par l'empereur Meiji signifie maintenir la paix pour toute la nation. Deux fois par an, au printemps et en automne, de grands rituels sont exécutés au cours desquels les offrandes de l'empereur sont consacrées.
