Suwa Lakeside Takashima Castle Sakura | Where Blossoms Meet the "Floating Castle"

#cherryblossom25 On the shores of Lake Suwa in Nagano, Takashima Castle—nicknamed the "Floating Castle"—becomes surrounded by 300 cherry trees each April, creating dreamy reflections on the water that blur the line between sky and earth. Why Takashima Castle? ✓ One of Japan's few waterfront castle sakura spots ✓ Far fewer crowds than Matsumoto Castle ✓ Stunning day/night transformation
