]]> Imperial Hanami

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.
