Imperial Couple Take Surprise Stroll to View Cherry Blossoms along Outer Moat of Imperial Palace

Video footage taken on April 2 around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo shows Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko taking an unexpected stroll along the outer moat to view cherry trees at the end of their bloom. The pair usually take walks inside the palace grounds, but they rarely make it outside. The imperial couple stopped before a poster explaining the differences between cherry species and smiled and waved at stunned passersby.
