Head to Koriyama during cherry blossom season!
Cherry blossoms tell us that spring has come. When the cherry blossoms at Koriyama City Public Hall, which are said to be the earliest to bloom in Koriyama City , bloom, other famous cherry blossom spots begin to bloom one after another. Since the flowering period differs depending on the region, you can enjoy cherry blossoms for about a month.

Cherry Blossom Spot 1: Kaiseizan Park (Late March to Early April)
Kaiseizan Park is a symbol of Koriyama City. With 1,300 cherry trees in full bloom, including the oldest Somei-Yoshino cherry tree in Japan, Kaiseiyama Park is one of Fukushima Prefecture's most famous cherry blossom viewing spots.

Cherry Blossom Spot 2: Fujita River Fureai Sakura (Early April to Mid-April)
Somei-yoshino cherry blossoms bloom for 3km on both sides of the Fujita River, centered around Horinouchi Bridge, near JR Kikuta Station (Ban'etsu West Line). Walking along the river along the cherry blossoms is a very pleasant experience. It is also easily accessible and located very close to the station, so if you time it right, you can take a photo of the train and cherry blossoms together.
Cherry Blossom Spot 3: Sesson Zakura (Early April to Mid-April)
Next to "Sesson-an," where the Muromachi period artist-monk Sesson spent his later years, stands a 400-year-old Edohigan cherry tree. The bamboo forest in the background creates a moody landscape where the cherry blossoms bloom beautifully, like something out of a Japanese painting. The only sound you can hear is the sound of the wind, and it's so quiet. This is a cherry blossom spot that sits quietly in the countryside and exudes elegance.
Cherry Blossom Spot 4: Benishidare Jizo Cherry Blossom(mid-April to late April)
This weeping cherry tree is said to be the daughter of the Miharu Takizakura and is about 400 years old. It is characterized by its bewitching pink flowers. It is also designated as a natural monument by Koriyama City and is the sole cherry tree that represents Koriyama City.
Cherry Blossom Spot 5: Cherry Blossoms at Funatsu Park (mid-April to late April)
Konanmachi, located on the south side of Lake Inawashiro, has seven beaches along the lakeside. One of these, Funatsu Park, has a row of cherry trees that stretch from the parking lot to the lake, and across the stream are rape blossoms, which are in full bloom at the same time. And at the back of the lake is the majestic Mount Bandai. This is a hidden gem where you can see a picturesque view before your eyes and feel the pleasant spring breeze blowing through.
