Cherry Blossom Season in Tokyo (April 5th, 2011)

As it's been nice weather since last week, the cherry blossoms has begun to bloom in Tokyo. Today I went to the Chidorigafuchi Imperial Palace Moat Park, Kitanomaru Park and Yasukuni-Jinja Shrine to take some pictures. Each places are around 15-20 minutes walk from Hotel Niwa Tokyo, all located in the outer part of the Imperial Palace. They are also known as one of the best cherry blossom viewing points in Tokyo.

Many people are enjoying boat ride at Chidorigafuchi Moat.



Chidorigafuchi-Ryokudo, a promenade, right beside the moat are crowded with people who come to see the cherry blossoms at this time of the year. It's like walking in the tunnel of "sakura" !
