Cherry Blossoms and Matsumae Castle in Matsumae

Matsumae Town is Hokkaido's only castle town and a famous cherry blossom spot with 250 varieties and 10,000 cherry blossom trees planted around Matsumae Castle. The greatest feature is that due to the differences in varieties, the cherry blossoms bloom one after another continuously for about one month from late April to late May. During the Matsumae Cherry Blossom Festival, nighttime illumination of the cherry blossoms is also held. Combined with historical walks unique to Hokkaido's southernmost castle town, you can fully enjoy spring in Hokkaido.
