Yamazakigawa Riverside••
The Shikinomichi ("Path of Four Seasons") along

Many somei yoshino trees, several weeping cherry trees and small numbers of less commonly seen cherry tree
varieties are planted around the pleasant park and along the moats of
Nagoya Castle.
Tsuruma Park (Tsuruma Koen)•
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)•
A small forest of cherry trees and two ponds provide pleasant space for cherry blossom viewing picnics in the Cherry Orchard (Sakura no En) section of Nagoya Peace Park.
Inuyama Castle•
The celebrated
Inuyama Castle outside of
Nagoya is surrounded by hundreds of cherry trees. Trees are found both around the castle keep on top of the hill, and around the base of the hill and
Urakuen Garden, another of
Inuyama's sightseeing spots.
