The Sasayama Castle Ruins are a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing, with magnificent stone walls still standing today. In spring, about 1,000 cherry trees bloom around the castle’s moat, creating a stunning scene.

During cherry blossom season, the trees are illuminated in the evening, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful contrast of pink blossoms, towering stone walls, and the outer moat.
