[Fukushima] I went there during cherry blossom season and found the castle buried.

#Sakura2024

Aizu Tsuruga Castle was amazing when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom!

Both the cherry blossoms and Tsuruga Castle were the main attraction.

Approximately 1,000 cherry trees are in bloom🌸

Varieties include Somei-Yoshino, Double-flowered, Weeping, and Kohigan cherry trees.
