Cherry Blossoms

Japan’s Top 100 Blossoms: Seibu Park (Tokushima)

Travel

Seibu Park is built on the site of a former military cemetery that had long been known for its beautiful cherry blossoms and azaleas. Work began in 1986 to turn it into a sakura-themed park, and today, some 500 somei yoshino trees are lit up at night when the blossoms are at their peak.
