Hokkegahara Gardens, with giant 10-meter-tall weeping cherry trees

#FukuokaSakura

The private cherry blossom viewing spot in Fukuoka Prefecture - Hokkehara Flower Gardens of Myoho-ji Temple is located in Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture, not far from JR Chikugo Yoshii Station. From Hakata Station, you need to first take the bus to Kurume Station, then transfer to Chikugoyoshi Station and walk or take the bus to the place.

The most famous attraction in Hokkehara Gardens is the 10-meter-tall, 60-year-old Minobu weeping cherry tree, which blooms in mid-March. The cherry blossoms are like a waterfall, and it is a charming sight to admire them under a red umbrella, whether it is day or night.

During the day, the spring scenery of yellow rapeseed flowers, pink cherry blossoms, and blue sky is very pleasing to the eye; once night falls, the lights are turned on and a completely different scene is presented. The swaying romantic night cherry blossoms make people feel as if they are in a dream.
