[Shiga] Spectacular view! A collaboration of castles and cherry blossoms

2024.4.13 *Hikone Castle About a 15-minute walk from JR Hikone Station Hikone Castle, a national treasure🏯 Of the 12 existing castle towers, only 5 are national treasures, and you can climb the castle tower😊 The cherry blossoms were in full bloom that day, and it was very crowded🌸 Castle tower and cherry blossoms Castle walls and cherry blossoms🌸 You can enjoy the spectacular scenery unique to Japan🥰 It just so happened that this day was the birthday of the mascot character "Hikonyan"🎂 Apparently, a birthday party was held in the morning☺️ He came out in the afternoon too, and I was able to meet him🎵 It's difficult to time the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom, but if you do, it's very beautiful, so I recommend it😊 Be careful as there are many slopes and stairs inside the castle✨ There is also Castle Road in the castle town nearby, so it's recommended for a stroll☺️ #sakura2024 #freehongkongairticket #cherryblossoms #cherryblossomspots #hanami #shigatourism #shigatrip #hikonecastle #nationaltreasure
