[Shiga] Spectacular view! A collaboration of castles and cherry blossoms

2024.4.13
*Hikone Castle
About a 15-minute walk from JR Hikone Station

Hikone Castle, a national treasure🏯
Of the 12 existing castle towers, only 5 are national treasures, and you can climb the castle tower😊

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom that day, and it was very crowded🌸

Castle walls and cherry blossoms🌸
You can enjoy the spectacular scenery unique to Japan🥰

It just so happened that this day was the birthday of the mascot character "Hikonyan"🎂
Apparently, a birthday party was held in the morning☺️

He came out in the afternoon too, and I was able to meet him🎵

It's difficult to time the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom, but if you do, it's very beautiful, so I recommend it😊

Be careful as there are many slopes and stairs inside the castle✨
There is also Castle Road in the castle town nearby, so it's recommended for a stroll☺️
