Annual light-up of the cherry blossoms in Chidorigafuchi. One of the most famous night cherry blossom events (yozakura, 夜桜) in Tokyo — 700 meters of LEDs lighting the cherry trees on the banks of the moat around the Imperial Palace. The LEDs are turned on around 6pm and switched off at 10pm. Visitors can rent boats during the cherry blossom season to view the trees from the water.
Weekend treat: visit the Imperial Palace for the first time, stop by each bookstore in Jimbocho, and have a break at a retro cafe in Ginza where my favorite writer used to eat some while alive!

Originally, I was supposed to visit Chidorigafuchi Moat last month as this is famous for the picturesque view of cherry trees lined up along its moat during sakura season; however, while I had had to put off the plan until the weather was preferable three times, I missed a chance to enjoy such a view for this year, after all. Nonetheless, I carried out my plans in the area without cherry blossoms.
Mom and I arrived at Kudanshita station, which is located right in front of Nippon Budokan and reminded me of the day when I went to the Spitz concert in my 10s, around 9:30 am for taking a boat without so much waiting; yet, having second thoughts, we opted for a brisk walk along and inside the East Garden of the Imperial Palace. In contrast to the past few weeks, the sun was beating down harshly throughout the day. Therefore, I sweated and was being so thirsty that I felt a bit reluctant to pay attention to each spot like colored carp, to tell the truth(I don't mean to say that was boring. If anything, it's good for a walk). Then, we decided to head to Jimbocho by subway. By the by, I do remember that there were so many bees flying around the moat.
I was absolutely delighted to finally come to Jimbocho; I had been wanting to visit its bookstore street since I got a preoccupation with reading in college. I stopped by every single store on the street regardless of genre, because I didn't have a specific item to look for, so I explored the area following my heart.
I was surprised at the fact that genuine noh masks were for sale even in a bookstore(side note: 神田古書センター/Kanda-kosho Center); I mean, most of the shops sell not only books but also records, DVDs, or posters. As well as that, I thought of actually seeing autographs of from actors who passed away half a century ago to contemporary authors, or items of like the 1920s or 30s come from other countries up close as a valuable experience. I was pondering if some books that I read a long time ago had potentially rolled in this town, at the time. Incidentally, I like 神保町ブックセンター/Jimbocho Book Center and Book House Cafe, a children's bookstore, neither of which sell used books, though. In addition, I got also startled by a really huge line for curry although this town is called "Curry Town".
In the afternoon, I took mom to BRIDGE, an underground cafe in Ginza, for a late lunch; the reason why I picked this place all the way is that one of my favorite Japanese writers named Kuniko Mukoda used to visit the cafe while alive. Thus, the articles about that were on display at the entrance. According to them, she would often order sandwiches composed of Japanese rolled omelet, some slices of ham, vegetables, and Japanese mustard, but I ordered melon pancakes, a signature dish of BRIDGE, for mom(she preferred sweets at the moment, and I have been staying away from sugar or too much carbs for fear of a relapse into binge eating disorder). We had a great time over coffee/tea there. I like its welcoming atmosphere; it wasn't sophisticated, exclusive, nor solemn in a good way, so I didn't have to hesitate to enter, which I do appreciate. Next time, I'd love to take dad there.
