The light blue of the sea and sky and the pink of the cherry blossoms make a beautiful contrast.

"Kaizan Park" "Kaizan Park" on Hakata Island in Imabari City is a popular spot where many people visit every year for cherry blossom viewing. This is Setonaikai National Park, about a 10-minute drive from "Hakatajima IC" on the Shimanami Kaido. There are about 1,000 Somei-Yoshino cherry trees planted in the park, and when they are in full bloom, the mountaintop is covered in pink cherry blossoms. It seems that many cyclists also visit, so it might be a good idea to go there by bicycle. ■Opening hours: 24 hours ■Address: Ikata, Hakata-cho, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture ■Fee: Free ■Parking: Free for 150 cars #0 yen trip
