Maybe some of you don't have an image of going to Nagano to see cherry blossoms! Nagano has some wonderful cherry blossom spots too✨ Today, we will introduce Takato Castle Park, which is ranked #1 in the ranking of Japan's top three cherry blossom spots and Nagano Prefecture's cherry blossom spots. [About the cherry blossoms at Takato Castle Park] There are more famous cherry blossom spots in Nagano Prefecture than temples, such as castle parks and parks. Among them, Takato Castle Park is one of Japan's top three cherry blossom spots, along with Aomori's Hirosaki Park and Nara's Yoshinoyama🌸 About 1,500 endemic cherry trees, known as "Takato Kohiganzakura", are in full bloom, captivating everyone😍 The Takato Sakura Festival is held during the period when these cherry blossoms bloom, but the festival period is roughly from "beginning of blooming to end of falling"! However, it was quite appreciated that the period could be changed according to the flowering situation! The basic opening hours are 8:00-17:00, but during the peak season, you can enjoy the long hours from 6:00-22:00✨ The illuminations are also beautiful🤩 I highly recommend you to see them‼️ The illumination period is also adjusted according to the flowering situation, from 30% to the beginning of falling The hours are 18:00-22:00 In some places, you can see cherry blossom projection mapping and reflections on the cherry blossom pond, which are unique to the night😁 Please be sure to see the illuminations!
