[Shiga Prefecture] Mysterious Hikone Castle illuminated by cherry blossoms at night

Hikone Castle, a landmark of Shiga Prefecture The castle tower, built during the Edo period, is designated a national treasure, and many other buildings are important cultural properties, making it one of Japan's leading castles with a high historical heritage value. The spring scenery of Hikone Castle is the approximately 1,200 cherry trees surrounding the moat. The daytime view is beautiful, but the cherry blossoms lit up at night during the cherry blossom viewing season are a spectacular sight. On windless, sunny days, the clear reflections on the surface of the moat make it even more mystical. As a result, the area around the moat during the cherry blossom viewing season is bustling with photographers. Date: March 28th - April 16th, 2025 *May vary depending on the cherry blossom blooming situation Time: 18:00 - 20:45 Expected full bloom of the cherry blossoms themselves: Around April 9th #Seasonal places in Japan #Shiga Prefecture #Famous cherry blossom spots #Breathtaking views
