Takato Castle Ruins Park 🌸 Hidden Land 🌸

#NaganoTourism #TakatoCastlePark #SakuraFestival #TakatoSoba #InaGalette #Sakura2024 Not only Japanese tourists, but also foreign tourists are increasing every year⤴️Sakura spot🌸 It's a whole mountain of cherry blossoms🌸 A hidden cherry blossom spot away from the hustle and bustle of the big city🌸 I took the first express bus from Shinjuku, Tokyo to Ina Bus Terminal, and then changed to a local bus and arrived at Takato Castle Park by noon🚌 Once you purchase an admission ticket, it can be used for one day. I enjoyed both the daytime and nighttime illuminations➕ and the next morning early morning with few people🌸 On the third day of full bloom, the petal pond and the cherry blossom snowstorm were very fantastic🌸 There are many food stalls lined up! You can get dinner on the spot😋 Takato has long been known as the birthplace of soba noodles, and its soba soup, which is made by adding roasted miso to the juice of grated radish called "karatsuyu", is unique! The famous shops scattered around the area have long lines every day, and on the first day, Masuya was sold out by 11:30. I got revenge on the second day, lining up 30 minutes before opening at 10:00 and was able to get the delicious and legendary Takato soba♪ The mountain-shaped soba had a chewy texture and I was able to fully enjoy the flavor of the buckwheat flour o(^▽^)o Also, there are many stylish galette shops in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, which is a stopover🇫🇷 Spring will soon arrive🌸 Please come and visit us^_^ How to get there: Transfer from train or express bus to local bus Tourist spot: Takato Castle Park Hotel: Takato Town Meals & Restaurants: Takato soba, Ina galette, etc. 2023.04.06
