Takada Park
Night Sakura Lit Up with Lanterns
The whole area of Takada Park is filled with a soft light during the night created by 3,000 bonbori (traditional Japanese lanterns). The sakura that are lined up in front of the moat have lights scattered making it look like the lights are floating. There is a refined beauty that is different from the daytime.

Sakura Road
Sakura Road is the most beautiful spot in Takada Park to see the sakura. The rows of sakura lined up for 300 meters carry densely blossoming flowers. The sakura that are lit from both sides change color depending on the angle and fascinate its spectators.

Takada Castle Hyakumannin Kan'oukai
Takada Castle Hyakumannin Kan'oukai (million people sakura viewing) is held every year from mid to late April. There are not only around 300 food stands in the park but many events are held here. Special attention goes to the mikoshi (decorative float) being carried between the sakura in full blossom. The collaboration of sakura and mikoshi is a sight that is hardly found elsewhere. The heroic and powerful mikoshi is a must see.

See the Sakura from a Boat
Boat rides are available in the moat that surrounds the castle. Not only can you enjoy the sakura trees from up close but you can also see the reflection of the night sakura on the river surface. It is a different kind of fun than on land, recommended for couples and families.
