This photo was taken looking up at Chidorigafuchi from beneath a cherry tree. The water surface glimpsed through the branches and the flow of people reflected a sense of calm and quiet time. Chidorigafuchi, one of Tokyo's premier photography spots, is a must-visit for anyone wanting to capture cherry blossoms. The approximately 700-meter stretch of Somei-Yoshino cherry trees lining the west side of the Imperial Palace is captivating for its branches reaching out over the water and the density of its blossoms.Popular compositions include pairing boats with cherry blossoms or capturing the undulating waves of blossoms from the top of the slope. The light changes its expression depending on the time of day, making it recommended not only on clear days but also on cloudy days and in the evening.
