Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo
It’s Hanami season in Tokyo right now and Chidorigafuchi is one of the more famous cherry blossom viewing spots in the city. How about renting a boat and paddling around the moat of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo while they are in bloom? Can you think of a more relaxing way to enjoy the cherry blossoms?
Row boat rental is normally Y500 for 30 minutes but during cherry blossom season the cost rises to Y800. ($5 & $8 USD).
Take Tokyo Metro to Kudanshita Station and follow the signs to Chidorigafuchi.

No, unfortunately I was on my way home and was exhausted. It does look like fun though and I will see if the hubby is up for a romantic row on his next off day.
