Chidorigafuchi Moat - What To Know BEFORE You Go

The Basics

The Imperial Palace in central Tokyo is surrounded by thick stone walls, the Chidorigafuchi Moat, and a park. There are about 200 cherry trees planted around the moat, and they turn the whole landscape pink for a couple of weeks in March and April. At other times, visitors can enjoy walking along the 2,300 foot (700 meter) walkway beside the moat. For an extra bit of fun, rent a rowboat and enjoy an outing on the water.

How to Get Around in Tokyo

Tokyo is an enormous city with excellent public transit and small, walkable neighborhoods—here are your options for getting around.

When to Get There

While cherry blossom season (late March to early April) is the best time to visit, the area is also very crowded during this season as around one million people flock visit to see the blooms. Immediately following cherry blossom season, you can enjoy the lovely sight of the pink petals floating on the surface of the water.

Visit the Yasukuni Shrine

Just northwest of Chidorigafuchi, you’ll find the Yasukuni Shrine. This Meiji-era Shinto shrine—formally known as the Imperial Shrine of Yasukuni—honors Japan’s war dead. The site is also one of Tokyo’s most popular cherry-blossom-viewing locations in March and April, and you can easily visit the temple before or after Chidorigafuchi.
