This detailed walking video documents a spring stroll through some of central Tokyo’s most scenic and culturally significant spaces, traveling from Takebashi Station to Kudanshita Station via Chidorigafuchi and Kitanomaru National Garden. Filmed in March 2025, just before the official announcement of the Yoshino cherry blossom opening (Somei Yoshino), this walk delivers a vibrant sense of Tokyo’s early spring charm while passing through historic temples, parks, and institutions.

Highlights along the route include the National Museum of Modern Art, the National Archives of Japan, and entry into the lush expanses of Kitanomaru National Garden. Here, you can see entrances such as Kita-hane-bashi-mon and Inui-mon gates, public art installations like “Mori no Shirabe” by Mitsuo Kagose, the ruins of WWII anti-aircraft sites, and tranquil vistas around Hanzo Moat and Chidorigafuchi Ryokudo Greenway. Chidorigafuchi is especially renowned for its cherry blossoms, and the video offers glimpses of the seasonal atmosphere just ahead of peak bloom.

The walk also features significant cultural landmarks such as the British and Indian Embassies, Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery, statues including those of historic figures like Iwao Oyama and Yajiro Shinagawa, and bustling public spaces like Kudanzaka Park. Continuing onward, viewers see the magnificent Nippon Budokan — Japan’s famous martial arts arena and concert venue — as well as the Science Museum and Shimizu-mon Gate. The route concludes at Kudanshita Station, a major public transit hub in Tokyo.

With English subtitles, this video is accessible for international audiences and provides a clear itinerary for anyone wanting to replicate the walk. Kitanomaru National Garden and Chidorigafuchi are particularly popular among locals and tourists alike for cherry blossom viewing (hanami), and are centrally located within Chiyoda Ward, making them easy to access from many other Tokyo attractions.
