This historic park is celebrated for its ancient groves of wild cherry trees, distinct from the common cultivated varieties. These mountain cherries have been a subject of Japanese poetry for centuries. When they bloom in delicate white and pale pink, they offer a subtle, deep beauty that captures the true essence of a traditional Japanese spring in a quiet, natural setting.
