Goryokaku: A Star-Shaped Fortress Wrapped in Sakura

#cherryblossom25 Goryokaku Park is a former star-shaped military fort turned public space, and in spring, it transforms into one of Hokkaido’s most spectacular cherry blossom destinations. Over 1,500 cherry trees line the moat and fill the park’s geometric grounds. The best view is from Goryokaku Tower, where visitors can see the fortress framed perfectly in pink. With its historical roots and distinctive design, Goryokaku offers a cherry blossom experience unlike any other in Japan.
