Romantic Boats and Cherry Blossoms at Chidorigafuchi

Chidorigafuchi, during the spring cherry blossom season in Tokyo's Chidorigafuchi, 800 Yoshino cherry trees and mountain cherry trees line the path, with weeping cherry branches reaching into the water. Petals flutter on the water's surface as the colorful cherry blossom viewing boats weave through the shimmering waves, creating a beautiful springtime scene. Along the riverbanks, towering cherry trees bloom in full splendor, and these ancient trees have thick, sturdy branches that spread across the entire river surface. Best Viewing Time: Late March to early April, with some variation each year. Access: The location is at Sanbancho in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. It's a 5-minute walk from exit 2 of the Kudanshita Station, served by the Tozai Line, Hanzomon Line, and Toei Shinjuku Line. There are conspicuous signs at the exit, just follow the indicated route and you won't get lost. Boat Rental Fees: 800 yen for half an hour, 1600 yen for an hour. You have to queue for tickets and boats, sometimes for several hours. (Tips: From Kudanshita, you can take photos of Tokyo Tower. It's extremely crowded, and if you want to be in the front row for photos, you need to line up. Otherwise, you'll have to compete with others in height and arm length, stretching as high as possible to see if you can get a clear view over the crowd in front. Boat reservations can only be made on the same day and not online; the number is limited, and it's possible to make an evening reservation during the day, but by evening there will definitely be no more available slots)
