▲Chidorigafuchi
Chidorigafuchi is a moat northwest of the Imperial Palace, located next to Kitanomaru Park. It's named for its shape, which resembles a thousand birds fluttering their wings as they prepare to take flight. Hundreds of cherry blossom trees line the promenade and embankment, creating a dazzling display every spring. It's one of Tokyo's three most famous cherry blossom viewing spots, along with Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and Ueno Park. A boat ride on Chidorigafuchi offers a truly unique experience.

Walking along Chidorigafuchi Greenway, you'll be greeted by the sight of beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom, creating a truly romantic experience, as if you've entered a cherry blossom tunnel. As the spring breeze blows, cherry blossom petals drift across the promenade and the surface of Chidorigafuchi River, creating a breathtakingly elegant spectacle.

▲Ueno Onshi Park

Ueno Onshi Park, located in Ueno, Taito Ward, Tokyo, Japan, is the first park in Japan, covering approximately 530,000 square meters. The park was designated a public park in 1873 and officially opened in 1876. Originally belonging to the Japanese Imperial Family, it was granted to the City of Tokyo by Emperor Taisho in 1924, hence the name "Onshi."

Ueno Park is home to the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Western Art, the National Science Museum, and Ueno Zoo.

The highlands of Shinogaoka have become a renowned cherry blossom viewing spot in modern times, selected as one of Japan's 100 most famous cherry blossom viewing spots and attracting numerous visitors. In addition, Shinobazu Pond, located south of Shinobazu Hill, is ablaze with lotus flowers in the summer, and many water birds, including ducks, come to roost in the winter.
