Over deze locatie: Takato Kasteelpark
Het Takato Kasteelpark in Ina herbergt zo'n 1.500 endemische «Takato Kohigan» kersenbomen die begin-half april zachtroze bloeien en de titel «beste kersenbloesem onder de hemel» verdienen. De avondverlichting van het «Sakura Matsuri» met de Centrale Alpen op de achtergrond is droomachtig.
Kenmerken
- Takato Kohigan Cherry — endemic to Takato; about 1,500 trees, smaller pale-pink blooms forming a cloud-like canopy at peak
- Oun Bridge — the park's iconic red bridge; the bridge with cherry blossoms is the canonical shot
- Central Alps backdrop — the white ridges of Nishi-Komagatake (2,956 m) and Kiso-Komagatake; spectacular through the cherry blossoms
- Evening Illumination — during the Sakura Festival, about 1,000 warm-toned bonbori lanterns make the blue hour magical
- Koen-kaku — a 1936 two-story wooden rest house; the retro architecture pairs beautifully with the cherry blossoms
