About this spot

Around 10,000 cherry trees of some 250 kinds around Matsumae Castle, Hokkaido's only Japanese-style castle. Early, mid and late-flowering kinds bloom one after another, about 80% of them double-flowered, so the season lasts about a month. The Matsumae Cherry Blossom Festival runs from late April into May.
