Cherry Blossoms of Ōmi Hachiman's Hachiman Moat

The Hachiman Moat in Ōmi Hachiman City is a waterway of the castle town built by Toyotomi Hideoki, and its charm lies in its picturesque landscape lined with stone walls and warehouses with white walls. In spring, the cherry blossoms along the moat reach full bloom, and visitors can enjoy cherry blossom viewing from the water by riding a covered boat. Known also as a filming location for many period dramas, it is a spot where you can feel Japan's pristine landscape throughout the year.
