Soft Sakura, Strong Stillness: Otowa Park’s Gentle Surprise

#cherryblossom25 #sakura🌸 #springs #japan I didn’t expect much from a neighborhood park—but the sakura had other plans. Otowa Park greeted me with soft lawns, quiet locals, and rows of cherry trees swaying like they knew they were being watched. There were no tour guides, no schedules—just the kind of stillness that made you want to linger. I laid back on the grass and let the blossoms blur into the sky. Sometimes, travel isn’t about going far—it’s about noticing what’s near. Tips: Weekdays are quieter; mornings or just before sunset offer the best light. Perfect for solo travelers or couples looking for an easy, beautiful escape without the crowd.
