Around the Wakasa Kuniyoshi Castle History Museum, the white iris flowers are in full bloom. They have started to bloom a bit earlier than usual. Typically, we mention that the best viewing time is during Golden Week, but it’s a bit uncertain until the Kuniyoshi Castle Festival on May 5th. This weekend (April 25-26), the weather is nice, so it’s a great time to see them. Location: Wakasa Kuniyoshi Castle History Museum Opening hours: 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM (until the end of March) 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (from April) Closed: Every Monday (the following day if it's a holiday) Address: 25-2 Sagaki, Mihama Town, Mikata-gun, Fukui Prefecture Phone: 0770-32-0050 Admission fee: 100 yen for adults, 50 yen for children (junior high school students and below) *Group discount for 20 or more people.

Please use the Mihama Town Kitasaigo Community Center Parking and Mihama Town Lake Center Parking. A glittering night at Wakasa Bay’s scenic Mikata Five Lakes—“Yoi no Sakura Project in Mikata Five Lakes” debuts! Following last autumn’s well-received “Waves of Light Project in Shoishohama” at Shoishohama Beach, Mihama Town in Fukui Prefecture presents a new nighttime light art event that will illuminate Mikata Five Lakes: the “Yoi no Sakura Project in Mikata Five Lakes.” Shifting the light art stage from the sea (Shoishohama Beach) to the lakes (Mikata Five Lakes), we will create a dreamlike atmosphere over the night-time lakes. Enjoy the beautiful pairing of shimmering night cherry blossoms and the lakes. Event Overview Event Name Yoi no Sakura Project in Mikata Five Lakes Dates and Times Late March to early April (from cherry blossom blooming until the event ends) 6:00 PM–8:00 PM (admission free) Venues In front of Mihama Town Lake Center and Mt.
