Tsurugajo Park Light Up
鶴ヶ城公園ライトアップ
The park blooms with approximately 1,000 cherry blossom trees, including Somei Yoshino as the main attraction, along with Edo Higan, Shidarezakura, and Yaezakura. The sight of cherry blossoms illuminated at night and reflecting on the moat's water is truly enchanting. It's one of the top 100 cherry blossom spots in Japan. Additionally, the castle tower's tiles are the only red tiles in Japan, replicating the appearance of the late Edo period.
