It is different from Somei Yoshino, yet such a lovely view in its own way.

During the flowering season, the area around Sasayama Castle is decorated with many Somei Yoshino cherry trees.
The bonboris(paper lanterns) that are lit at night will invite you to a fantastic space with the cherry blossoms.

Ojiyama, a small hill is located in the east of the Sasayama Castle site.

5. Kasuga Shrine
At the time of construction(1861), the Noh stage of Kasuga Shrine was said to be the most magnificent in the west of Hakone.
Noh play is performed during the cherry blossom time every year.
The appearance of the cherry blossoms is as breathtakingly beautiful as Noh’s overwhelming performance.
6. Sasayama River
Countless rows of cherry blossom trees line up on both sides of the Sasayama River heading to the castle.
The cherry blossom tunnel that runs along the river is like an entrance to a dream world.
Cycling through the tunnel is also a recommended experience. (Arii, Tambasasayama City)
