The Takato Kohigan cherry blossoms are said to be the "best cherry blossoms in the world". They are relatively small but have a beautiful pink color.
The cherry blossoms dyed the castle park pink, with the blue sky of the Central and Southern Alps as a backdrop.
The cherry blossoms at Takato Castle were selected as one of the 100 best cherry blossom viewing spots by the Japan Cherry Blossom Association and were designated as a natural monument of Nagano Prefecture (February 1960).
The cherry blossom season is short, and the best time to see it is around mid-April, but it’s hard to say for sure because the seasons vary. The cherry blossom snow here is great when it’s in bloom, with the pink petals falling like snow.
In 1876, when the old castle site that was abolished in the Meiji era (1876) was demolished and the original site was built into a park, cherry blossoms were planted in the Sakurakoba in the Ohara area of Henan. Now, there are about 20 trees of about 130 years old, 500 trees over 50 years old, 300 trees over 30 years old and about 1,500 cherry trees.
