Chasing Sakura at Kyushu Prefecture 🌸

#cherryblossom25 Kyushu's Recommended Cherry Blossom-Viewing Spot Guide! In the Kyushu area, cherry blossoms usually bloom from late March to early April! Now that the travel ban to Japan has been lifted, why not come to Kyushu to enjoy the colorful cherry trees for yourself? Here are the top three recommended blossom-viewing destinations in 2023! 〇 Kokura Castle (Fukuoka Prefecture) Kokura Castle in Kitakyushu City combines a majestic castle scenery with 300 cherry blossom trees that bloom all around it. During the blossom-viewing season, the trees are lit-up at night, creating a must-see sight! 〇 Issingyo no Oozakura (Kumamoto Prefecture) Issingyo no Oozakura is a 400-year-old cherry tree surrounded by nanohana blossoms in the village of Minamiaso. The 14-meter-tall giant tree with a trunk circumference of seven meters is truly a sight to behold, especially when it’s in full bloom. 〇Matsuura Railway Uranosaki Station (Saga Prefecture) Uranosaki Station's cherry blossom tunnel in Imari City was planted when the station was opened in 1930 and has since then been preserved by locals. The sight of a train dashing through rows of cherry blossoms in full bloom is something that you won’t soon forget.
