Naritasan Park, Chiba

#cherryblossom25 Naritasan Park blends cherry blossoms with tradition in the most beautiful way. Located behind Naritasan Shinshoji Temple (a huge draw in itself), the park is full of serene walking paths, koi ponds, and flowering trees. I came here after an early temple visit and caught the morning light hitting the sakura — it was like the blossoms were glowing. The park isn't massive, but it’s artfully landscaped and layered with history. Monks walking past in robes, families tossing food to the fish, and petals floating in still water — it felt timeless. I stopped at a teahouse inside the park for matcha and sakura wagashi, and the whole experience was honestly so peaceful. If you're flying into or out of Narita Airport, this spot is a perfect #cherryblossom25 detour to ground yourself before or after your flight. A hidden sanctuary in plain sight.
