Tsuruma Park (Tsuruma Koen) Early April
Tsurumai Subway Station

Tsuruma Park is probably Nagoya's most popular city park for cherry blossom viewing. The public park in central Nagoya offers many food stands and space for cherry blossom viewing parties under the trees.

Nagoya Peace Park (Nagoya Heiwa Koen) Early April
20-25 minute walk from Higashiyama Koen Station
