穴場スポットです。
It is a good spot for cherry blossom viewing.
Note: My favorite cherry blossom viewing spot.
I like the combination of cherry blossoms and the river.
I like the reflection of the cherry blossoms on the surface of the river.
It looks dreamy and very beautiful.
Here are three of my favorite cherry blossom viewing spots.
Matsukawaberi
The first one is Matsukawaberi.
There are many cherry trees along the Matsukawa River that runs through the center of Toyama City.
It is quite a long row of cherry trees.
It runs along the river from Kansui Park to Gokoku Shrine.
At night, the trees are illuminated, making them even more beautiful.
Takaoka Old Castle Park
The second park is old castle Park in Takaoka City.
Here, the cherry blossoms are reflected not on the river, but on the moat of the castle and the pond in the park.
There is no castle here, as it is the ruins of a castle.
However, the magnificent stone walls and cherry blossoms are quite a sight to see.
It is quite an expert’s way to enjoy.
Gandogawa Tsutsumi (bank of the Kishidogawa River)
The third is Gandogawa-tsutsumi in Fukuoka-machi, Takaoka City.
Like the Matsukawa River, the cherry blossoms are reflected on the surface of the river.
The best place to view the cherry blossoms is from Seseragi Park to Sakura Street.
In fact, cherry trees are planted as far as the nearby high school.
The children of this high school can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom in the spring.
It will be a wonderful memory for them.
However, if I go too close to the high school, I might be treated as a suspicious person, so I watch the cherry blossoms on Sakura Street.
If you want to see cherry blossoms, let’s go to Sakura Street.
There is also going to be a festival called Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival).
