What to expect

The Takato Kohigan cherry blossoms are known as the "most beautiful cherry blossoms in the world" and can only be seen in Takato Castle Park. Compared to another famous cherry blossom, the Somei Yoshino cherry, its flowers are slightly smaller but more pink. While enjoying the beauty of the cherry blossoms, you can also overlook the southern and central Alps from the south side of the park. Takato Castle Park is rated as one of the top 100 cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan, and the cherry blossoms in the park were designated as a natural monument of Nagano Prefecture in 1960. Another attraction on this trip is Gifu Ena Gorge. This is an artificial lake that was originally formed due to the construction of a dam downstream.

The female tour guide was polite and the driver drove safely. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Ena Gorge.

This time the tour boat was not open due to weather conditions, which was a pity, but the landscape there was vast and very comfortable. Fortunately, we were the only group of tourists. We strolled around leisurely, but there were almost no shops open. I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity. Went to take a boat ride. Gaoyuan Castle Park has the best cherry blossoms in the world. Also due to the rain, a lot of flowers fell. In addition, it is still cold in the mountains, so you have to keep warm, but I am still satisfied to see them in full bloom🌸

The tour guide's explanation was clear. Although it rained heavily that day, we were still able to visit Ena Gorge and Takato Castle Park as usual. Fortunately, the cherry blossoms in Takato Castle Park were in full bloom that day, which was super beautiful🌸

In order to go to Nagano to enjoy the cherry blossoms after flying to Nagoya, I joined a cherry blossom viewing tour from Nagoya. I was lucky enough to enjoy the cherry blossoms on a day when they were in full bloom, and the weather was also good. Although the journey is far away, it’s OK to have time to enjoy the flowers and take photos.

always love the small tour group which makes it easier to contact tour guide and easy to mingle with other passengers as well. while I did not get to see the Sakuras because of weather. I would come back for this tour again if I have a chance. there was also plenty of time to explore the places that we went.

Although the journey is a bit far, it is worth it. When they are in full bloom, the mountains are covered with cherry blossoms. There is cherry blossom ice cream sold on the mountain, which tastes very much like almonds.

The traffic time is quite long, and we happened to encounter traffic jam again this time. The total time of the 10-hour trip was only 3 hours at the scenic spot. For one hour, because there was no time to take the cruise tour guide, we had to take it to a small park, and even the vending machines had to be walked. It is only available from the intersection to the parking lot opposite. The CP value is not high. The two hours when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom are worth three stars. Overall, the CP value is not high.

Unfortunately, Takato Castle has not yet bloomed on the day of departure. Although we changed to Kiso River Park, which is also a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing, the cherry blossoms are not in the best condition. We stayed there for three hours instead of the Takato Castle itinerary. The stay was too long and it was like a one-day trip. In Nakyo and Kiso River Park, it costs more than 2,000 yuan without meals, which is really not that valuable. In fact, it was predicted a week before that Gaoyuan City had not yet bloomed on the day of departure. The reason why the trip was not canceled was because the transportation in Gaoyuan City was inconvenient. I planned to visit the top 100 famous cities with a one-day tour, but the itinerary was changed due to the flower conditions, and the changed itinerary was not selfish. I don’t think it has that value, so this trip to Japan is considered a failure.
