[2025 Sakura Attraction] Travel Guide for Sakura Castle Site Park (Updated May)

#cherryblossom25 Yes — a town literally called Sakura! Sakura Castle Park in Chiba is a perfect blend of history and hanami. The castle itself is long gone, but the moats, walls, and layout are still there, giving it this old-world charm. I arrived during golden hour and walked through cherry trees that line the former castle grounds, their petals drifting like confetti over stone paths. It was peaceful, quiet, and steeped in history. There's also the National Museum of Japanese History nearby, so you can easily make it a full cultural day trip. What made this extra special for my #cherryblossom25 trip was how few tourists were there — it felt like discovering a hidden layer of Japan. I sat on a low stone wall with a sakura-themed taiyaki and watched a local kendo club practice in the distance. It was like time travel with blossoms.

Sakura Castle Park is a park rich in nature that spreads out over the historic ruins of Sakura Castle. The cherry blossoms are beautiful in spring, and the irises are in full bloom in early summer. 💜 The iris fields in the park are filled with colorful flowers that sway in the wind, creating a very picturesque sight. The contrast between the historic stone walls and earthworks and the pretty irises is fascinating. The spacious park is perfect for a stroll, and you can enjoy nature at your leisure. ✨ The National Museum of Japanese History is nearby, so it's a spot where you can enjoy history and nature. 🎶 📍Location: Jonaicho Kan'yu No. 1, Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture #0 Yen Travel February 2025

[Sakura Castle] One of Japan's 100 Great Castles. Since I came all the way to Ichikawa, I took the opportunity to go to Sakura and conquer Sakura Castle. #MoichiCastleTour #Castle #Travel #Japan's100GreatCastle #SakuraCastle The National Museum of Japanese History and Ethnology is also located here. The castle building no longer exists, but the remains of the dry moat and enclosures remain, so you can get a good idea of ​​what it was like back then. Very well worth seeing.
