Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots, Maruoka Castle Park

Tue, March 24, 2015, by Muza-chan
The Japan Cherry Blossom Association compiled a list of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots, places selected to fulfill several requirements: it must be a well known historical location, with beautiful surroundings and with a large enough number of cherry trees. However, it is not a real top list, so each prefecture has at least one location listed.

Here's one of the Fukui Prefecture cherry blossom spots, the Maruoka Castle Park, a place that I enjoyed tremendously...
