Chidorigafuchi Park

Although the park is located a bit far from the city center, the distance is well worth it. One of the things I appreciated most was that it wasn’t overly crowded, which made the whole experience feel more peaceful and enjoyable. Out of all the parks I visited in Tokyo, this one easily had the most stunning scenery—lush greenery, serene water views, and beautifully maintained landscapes that felt almost like stepping into a painting. The air was noticeably fresh and clean, adding to the overall sense of calm. I highly recommend trying the boating experience here—it was both relaxing and fun, offering a unique way to take in the natural beauty of the park. It’s definitely a hidden gem and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Sakura Walkway by the River🌸🛶🦆 • A peaceful spot for a seasonal walk during cherry blossom time! • Be sure to check the weather—sunny days enhance the atmosphere significantly. • While the overall view is pleasant, there are only a few standout spots for photos. Most sections of the path look quite similar, so don’t expect a wide variety of scenic points. Still worth a visit if you’re nearby and enjoy sakura strolls.

Though the cherry blossom peak has passed, a few beautiful blooms remain. Many people are already out running by 6 am.

Many full bloom Sakura trees can be seen despite rainy weather. The moat is especially beautiful. Probably Sakura is at its peak now.

Today was my first visit: Spring 30 March 2025. The sakura trees are 95% full blooms here in Chidorigafuchi Park. It was as magical as expected. It’s can get very crowded, and the local official can be around to redirect walking traffic to one way path. Go there as early in the day as possible to have more space for photo. In Japan, chidori, meaning “thousand birds” and gafuchi mean “plover’s pond”
