Ninja Blossoms at Iga Ueno Castle

In the hometown of ninjas, Iga Ueno Castle surprised me with a softer side—cherry blossoms gently framing the towering white keep. The ancient stone walls whispered stories of stealth, but on this spring day, they echoed with laughter, petals, and pink-hued serenity. Walking beneath the blooming trees felt like blending history and hanami in perfect harmony. Stealth mode: off, wonder: activated. #cherryblossom25
