Himeji Castle - Cherry Blossom Festival, the white castle walls and pink cherry blossoms form a beautiful contrast

Himeji Castle is located in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It is an ancient city listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Himeji Castle is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan. Every spring, this 400-year-old castle attracts countless tourists to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms. There are about 1,800 cherry trees planted in the city, including various varieties such as Somei Yoshino, Yaezakura and Shidaera. They begin to bloom in late March and reach the best viewing period in early April. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the white walls of Himeji Castle and the pink cherry blossoms form a beautiful contrast, as if you are in a dreamy sea of ​​flowers. Especially when they are in full bloom, the entire city is surrounded by light pink flowers, attracting a large number of tourists to take photos. In addition, various events are often held at places such as San-no-maru Square and Nishi-no-maru Gardens in the city, allowing visitors to enjoy music and food while admiring the flowers. Himeji Castle at night has a special flavor. The Nishimaru Garden will be lit up, illuminating the weeping cherry trees, creating a dreamy night cherry blossom landscape that will make you linger. Whether it's day or night, the cherry blossoms in Himeji Castle show off their unparalleled beauty, making it a must-see tourist destination in spring. #Osaka Sakura #JapanTravel #Osaka Suburbs #Flower Viewing
