Sakura Viewing In A Castle Town! The Best Sakura Spots In Kanazawa
Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture is a sightseeing spot known for its three major Japanese gardens and as a historical castle town. This is a fantastic place to sightsee and is even more fun to visit when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
Kanazawa's Cherry Blossom Season
Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture is a well-known sightseeing spot thanks to its status as a castle town, and for its incredible gardens. As it has retained much of its Edo era charm, Kanazawa is the perfect place to enjoy the combination of sakura, a Japanese castle and a historical townscape all at once. The best time to see the cherry blossoms each year here tends to fall from the beginning of April to the middle of April. The cherry blossoms are somewhat slow to bloom in Kanazawa when compared to Tokyo, where they tend to bloom from the end of March to the start of April.
