night view with takada castle 🏰

#timetotravel Many visitors come to the park for the autumn colours and the picturesque snow scenes are a highlight during winter. The park offers seasonal beauty throughout the year. Inside the restored three-storied pagoda historical goods of the Takada Domain (a local feudal domain) are on display. Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Takada Castle Site Park from the top floor. The illuminated Takada castle has been selected as one of Japan’s top three castle night views, along with Osaka and Kochi castles. #japan

Takada Castle Ruins Park Cherry Blossoms.

The harmonious beauty of Japanese castles and the surrounding natural landscape is a sight to behold. The three-story pagoda and bridges within the Takada Castle Ruins Park along the Hokuriku Shinkansen line in Joetsu City have been restored. The sight of the snow-covered pagoda, the contrast of the red bridges against the white snow, presents a winter scene where one can truly experience Japanese aesthetics. The view of the park with cherry blossoms in full bloom is also a magnificent beauty that can only be enjoyed in Japan.

🏵 So relaxing at Takada Castle

#cherryblossom2024 🤗🩷 In the midst of our enchanting vacation, I embarked on a thrilling journey to the bustling city of Japan. As spring arrived, the surroundings transformed into a heavenly place, and we felt revitalized as we strolled through the renowned Takada Castle. Surrounded by the magnificent landscapes of this picturesque sanctuary, we were captivated by the breathtaking sights that unfolded before us at every twist and turn, leaving us with cherished memories that will endure a lifetime. The yearly sakura celebration at Takada Castle in Joetsu stands out as one of Japan's most exquisite cherry blossom displays, boasting around 4,000 cherry blossom trees. The scene becomes truly mesmerizing after dark, as the cherry blossom trees are elegantly lit up alongside approximately 3,000 bonbori lanterns. On the other hand, at Okozu Bunsui park near Tsubame city, a stunning array of about 3,000 yoshino cherry trees flourish along the picturesque banks of the Shinano River. The lavish and mesmerizing sanctuary has etched a lasting memory in the depths of my consciousness. The sheer pleasure of revisiting and cherishing every moment in this unmatched haven is truly incomparable.🤗💮🌸✨️#mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip
