Isehara Flower Update 2025.3.24
In Isehara, beautiful spring blossoms are coming into full view one after another.✨
There are plenty of spots to look forward to enjoying even more soon!
* Mishima Shrine (Zenba 714)
The weeping cherry trees are about half in bloom.
* Ooyama Shindo (Ooyama New Road)
The deep-pink Okame cherry trees are at their peak.
* Maruyama Castle Ruins Park (Shimokasuya 2168-2)
The almond trees below the park are about 60% in bloom. Their pale pink hues announce the arrival of spring.
* The canola field behind Akazato-en in the Zenba area
This year it is slower than usual,
but a steady yellow carpet is starting to spread!
We can’t wait for it to reach full bloom.💛
※ Visitors may use the Akazato-en and Mitake-en parking lots,
but please speak to staff first.
Please wait a little longer for the weeping cherry trees at Sannomiya Hibita Shrine and Doshoin.😌
We’ll let you know once they begin to bloom!
Spring in Isehara is bursting with floral highlights—you might not know where to go first.💐
Bring your camera and go hunt for spring’s colors!
