One of the highlights is the contrast between the approximately 1,500 cherry trees and pine trees that bloom in the park.
The cherry blossom tunnel that stretches over the tracks of Ashino Koen Station and the sight of the Tsugaru Railway "Run Meros" are also popular photo spots.
In 2022, it was also lit up from 6:00 pm.
