I would like to introduce the Kokura Castle Cherry Blossom Festival, an event in Kitakyushu City. This event is a festival held every spring where you can enjoy the famous cherry blossom spot at Kokura Castle. Kokura Castle is a historic building built in the Edo period and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. During the cherry blossom season, approximately 300 Somei Yoshino and weeping cherry trees bloom, creating a beautiful landscape.
Various events are held at the Kokura Castle Cherry Blossom Festival. For example, you can see the cherry blossoms lit up at night. In addition, there are many fun events such as food stalls and stage shows in the surrounding area.
The Kokura Castle Cherry Blossom Festival is a beloved spring tradition in Kitakyushu City. Many people visit to fully enjoy the cherry blossoms, history, and culture. If you are interested, please be sure to visit.
