Samurai Spring at Tsuyama Castle

Walking through the ruins of Tsuyama Castle during sakura season felt like stepping into a scroll painting come to life. Over 1,000 cherry trees enveloped the ancient stone walls in soft pink clouds, each petal whispering tales of feudal Japan. From the summit, the panoramic view of the blossom-filled Kakuzan Park below was unforgettable. Locals picnicked in quiet harmony, and I joined them, sipping matcha beneath the falling petals. Time stood still as the wind stirred the blossoms and my soul. Tsuyama isn’t just a cherry blossom spot—it’s a springtime legend. #cherryblossom25
