Takada Castle Park Cherry Blossom Festival - One of Japan's Three Great Night Cherry Blossom Viewings

Located in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, Takada Castle Park is renowned as a cherry blossom viewing destination with approximately 4,000 Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom. Counted among "Japan's Three Great Night Cherry Blossom Viewings" alongside Ueno Onshi Park and Hirosaki Park, the beauty of the night cherry blossoms illuminated by approximately 3,000 paper lanterns (bonbori) is truly exceptional. Within the park, in addition to the nighttime illumination, visitors can enjoy the Sakura Road light displays, food stalls and markets, and local product sales, all creating a lively atmosphere celebrating the arrival of spring. During cherry blossom season, many people visit to experience this precious opportunity to immerse themselves in Japan's traditional hanami (cherry blossom viewing) culture.
