Cherry blossom season around Nagoya Castle

#cherryblossom25 Cherry blossom season around Nagoya Castle is absolutely breathtaking. With around 900 cherry trees—including varieties like Somei Yoshino and weeping sakura—the entire castle grounds transform into a dreamy pink wonderland from late March to early April. During the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, the trees are illuminated from 6 to 8 pm, creating a magical nighttime hanami experience. The contrast of soft petals against the majestic castle backdrop is unforgettable. Traditional performances and cultural events add to the festive mood. For a quieter stroll, nearby Meijo Park also offers beautiful cherry blossoms and peaceful paths. It’s truly springtime at its best.
