Chidorigafuchi In Japan

Chidorigafuchi is a moat located in the northwest of the Imperial Palace, and it is said the name comes from the moat’s shape, which resembles plovers (chidori in Japanese). The moat is an historic site, and was constructed in the early Edo Period according to the expansion work of the castle, by damming the river. It used to be connected with Hanzo Moat.

About Chidorigafuchi
  • Chidorigafuchi Park is the area a round a moat of the Imperial Palace known for its splendid cherry blossoms. Strictly speaking, there’s no park in the area. There’s a cemetery, a path, a boat rental house and a moat.
  • Chidorigafuchi Moat is one of a total of twelve moats that surround the Imperial Palace.
  • Chidorigafuchi Cemetery is an extremely important spot in which 352,297 unidentified war dead from WWII are interred. These include civilian casualties from the air raids on Japan and atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It’s a small Cemetery with simple monuments.
  • Chidorigafuchi Path is a narrow sidewalk alongside the moat of the Imperial Palace that runs from a short distance from the cemetery to the Boat Rentals. It’s lined with sakura trees and becomes packed with people during hanami season.
  • There are a few spots in the area to lay down a mat for a hanami party but not many. They’re in high demand so send an early scout.
  • The main attraction in the area is the boathouse that’s quiet most of the year but is insanely busy during hanami season. Expect to wait in a long line.
  • The sakura along Chidorigafuchi Moat are amongst the most famous in Japan. They are lush and towering. Late in the season the surface of the moat becomes almost completely covered in sakura petals.
