I was able to visit Tachioka Natural Park in Kumamoto Prefecture during the best season, but...

#KumamotoPrefecture #TateokaNaturalPark #CherryBlossomsInFullBloom I searched for recommended cherry blossom spots in Kumamoto and went there. It is located about 40 minutes by car from Kumamoto Station. I arrived around 9:50. There was a guide at the parking lot, and the sky was conspicuous. The food stalls were also preparing, so there were few people, and a few people were enjoying fishing for crucian carp in the pond. I personally prefer to enjoy the cherry blossoms at a leisurely pace when there are few people, rather than enjoying them in a crowd, so I was lucky. The cherry blossoms were about 80% or 90% in bloom. The cherry blossoms were different from the site that introduced them, and I was expecting pink, but the color was whitish. I came all the way to Kumamoto, but there was a big gap between the site and the actual cherry blossoms... I wonder if I should have seen the cherry blossoms in my hometown? But I ate some delicious food along the way, so it's fine. If you ask me if I'll go again, I won't. That's the kind of place it is.
