Tsuruoka Park was developed on the site of Tsurugaoka Castle, the former residence of the Sakai clan, lords of the Shonai domain.

The garden, which is home to approximately 730 cherry trees, including Somei-Yoshino, Yaezakura, and Weeping Cherry, has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots.

The illuminated cherry blossoms at night are mesmerizingly beautiful.
