#OsakaSakura

The sea of ​​cherry blossoms blooming with the white-walled castle as the background is truly beautiful! #HimejiCastle is located in the suburbs of Osaka. Not only is the Tenkatsukaku building itself very historical, but the thousands of cherry blossoms planted throughout the park bloom in late March and early April, turning the white Tenkatsukaku into a stunning sight. No wonder it was selected as one of the 100 most famous cherry blossom spots in Japan.

There are varieties of cherry blossoms such as Somei Yoshino cherry, weeping cherry, and mountain cherry in Himeji Castle. When they are in full bloom, the castle will be surrounded by light red, which is quite dreamy. In Himeyama Park, cherry blossoms are lined up along the moat. Not only are there cherry blossom festival performances during the day, but you can also enjoy night cherry blossoms in the Nishinomaru Garden at night. It is very suitable for a round trip from Osaka to enjoy cherry blossoms.

Transportation is also very convenient. Take the JR from Osaka to Himeji Station, and then walk to Himeji Castle. The journey takes about an hour, which is fast and convenient!
