Oboshy Nature and Hanami

#cherryblossom2024 Every year, more than 2,000 cherry trees briefly transform the already amazing landscapes of Oboshi Park into a blooming pink kingdom. The peak season is at the end of March — beginning of April. We recommend it Take a walk through the park, which stretches on a hill 300 meters high Visit Daihosiyama Yamanokami Sano-jinja Shrine — a tree grows right through its roof Admire the Fujikawa River just a 25-minute walk from the park How to get The park can be reached by public transport. At Shinjuku Station on the Chuo Line, take the express to Kofu, transfer to the JR Minobu line and drive to Kajikazawaguchi Station. From there, Oboshi Park is 15 minutes by taxi or 40 minutes on foot. A walk in the park The park is located on a hill. There is a magnificent view of the surrounding area. Walking here is pleasant and not at all difficult — the slope is gentle. At the top of the hill there is a large concrete clock tower with a huge sculpture of a flying bird. They often make dates here. Cherry Blossom Festival When thousands of trees bloom, people come to the park for picnics and parties. Come and join the festivities. You can bring food and drinks with you or buy them at street shops. In addition, it is worth participating in carnival games: maybe you will be able to win a prize. Night lights Sakura parties don't end with sunset. The trees are illuminated at night, and most kiosks are open late. Nothing will stop you from having fun late into the night.
