Operators / A rowing boat on the palace moat
Chidorigafuchi Boathouse
千鳥ヶ淵ボート場
Marunouchi & Tokyo Station · Kudanshita Station or Hanzomon Station, both about 10 min walk
Why we recommend it
A city-run boathouse on the Imperial Palace's outer moat, framed by the same cherry-tree embankment used for the famous Chidorigafuchi hanami walk. Renting a hand-rowed boat here is one of the only ways to be on the water inside central Tokyo's historic palace grounds.
