2025 Kitamoto Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#cherryblossom25 Kitamoto Sakura Park was a total vibe — small-town charm with big bloom energy. Located in a quiet neighborhood in Saitama, this park isn’t massive, but the sakura trees here are old, gnarled, and full of character. I went mid-morning on a weekday, and it felt like I had the place to myself. The petals were just beginning to fall, and I sat on a wooden bench watching pink flakes swirl down onto the grass like soft confetti. Locals came by for short strolls or to sketch the scenery, and I even saw a man painting the trees in watercolor — it was that picturesque. It doesn’t have the flash of a mega hanami park, but that’s its strength. Kitamoto is quiet, gentle, and personal — a great place for journaling, solo reflecting, or snapping a thoughtful post for your #cherryblossom25 story.

When I ordered a beer, a glass with ice was served. It's perfect for this time of year. First, salad and french fries. Then, garlic shrimp. The garlic shrimp was simply seasoned. Unlike when I tried it in Hawaii and other restaurants, it was easy to eat because it was shelled. For dessert, we shared two malasadas and a blueberry sundae. We also had 100% Kona coffee. They also sold Hawaiian goods, such as Whole Foods Market bags. It was a lovely store that really showed love for Hawaii.
