Kakunodate Cherry Blossom Park

Kakunodate Cherry Blossom Park

角館桜公園

Akita · Tohoku

This riverside park runs along the Hinokinai embankment at Kakunodate, a two-kilometre green corridor beside the water with the preserved samurai district a short walk away. The embankment is planted with cherry trees along its whole length, which flower in late April.

Why it's hidden

Many travelers focus on more famous cherry blossom spots like Tokyo and Kyoto, overlooking this serene location.
