Matsumae Park was once the former castle grounds
north of Matsumae Castle. This area is the home of over
250 different species of cherry trees and features over
10,000 cherry trees. Because of the 250 different species
of cherry trees, Matsumae Park has a unique and long
cherry blossom season that lasts from late April to late
May. The Matsumae Cherry Blossom Festival is held
here for much of late April to late May as well.
This place is so well known for its Cherry Blossoms it is
included in the top 100 selection of Cherry Blossom spots
in Japan. Here resides about 250 species growing on
about 10000 trees. Its nickname is the "Little Kyoto of the
North" because of its resemblance to Teramachi in Kyoto.
Visitors are given a whole month for viewing the cherry
trees here, starting around the end of April and lasting
until the end of May. Early bloom, mid-bloom and late
bloom can all be enjoyed during this period. The light-up
of the Hokkaido heritage-certified Matsumae Castle,
Tsugaru Strait and cherry blossoms after sunset all
attribute to a masterpiece. The Matsumae Cherry
Blossom Festival is held during the full bloom period of
the trees. Fun events such as a march of armor-clad
warriors, showcases of local folk entertainment, along
with shops selling local foods of Matsumae can also be
enjoyed.
