INFP's Ideal Spot: Enjoy a Quiet Cherry Blossom Viewing Away from the Crowds

#cherryblossom25 Shimin no Mori (Citizens' Forest) | Nagano, Omachi City Today, I visited a peaceful, hidden cherry blossom spot – Shimin no Mori. The wild cherry blossoms were in full bloom, perfectly contrasting with the remnants of snow on the Hakuba Mountains, creating a stunningly beautiful scene! Nestled on a small hill, this location not only offers close-up views of the blossoms but also a sweeping vista of the majestic Northern Alps in the distance. It truly feels like spring is wrapping you in its embrace. Cherry Blossom Status: Full bloom – just perfect! The pale pink, deep pink, and a few white blossoms mix together, layering beautifully under the sunlight, like a colorful hat. Highlights: The high vantage point lets you enjoy both the flowers and the snow-capped mountains at the same time. Peaceful and less crowded, you won’t have to wait for a perfect shot. There’s plenty of grass for a relaxing picnic (a packed lunch here feels perfect). Free parking is available. Best Time for Viewing: Mid to late April each year Address: 841-3 Yamada, Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture (just 40 minutes from Hakuba by car!). #travel
