Another great place to view cherry blossoms in Tokyo is at Kitanomaru Park, a national park adjacent to the Imperial Palace located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

The park is situated between Kudan and the Imperial Palace and has the Nippon Budokan on its premises.

KitanoMaru Park Cherry Blossom Chiyoda

In the 1950s, when many buildings of the former Konoe Regiment and others were dispersed and the area was developed as a forest park, cherry trees were planted.

The cherry blossoms overlooking the moat from the walkway along the bank on the Chidorigafuchi side and the cherry blossoms near the Tiananmon Gate are especially great cherry blossom viewing spots and should not be missed.

There is also a “Green Adventure Course” where visitors can try to guess the names of 30 different kinds of trees, so families and groups of adults can enjoy the cherry blossoms and plants to the fullest.
