#cherryblossom25 Review (Traveler using #cherryblossom25): Kezoji Park was an unexpected blend of old-school charm and cherry blossom wonder. I visited during their annual flower festival and was amazed by how many trees were in full bloom — the whole park looked dipped in pink. What made it extra special was the vintage amusement park right in the middle, complete with a classic Ferris wheel that offers an awesome view of the blossoms from above. It gave me major nostalgic vibes. The park itself is elevated, so you get nice views of the town and mountains in the distance. I caught a local taiko performance under the blossoms and grabbed some fried snacks from a vendor nearby — pure hanami vibes. This spot isn’t as famous as others, which means fewer crowds and a more local feel. I loved sharing photos and video from the Ferris wheel using #cherryblossom25. This one’s a hidden gem, and I’ll definitely come back!

Last weekend, I had the chance to visit Akabori Kogiku no Sato with my wife and two sons, and it was an absolutely magical experience. This flower spot, nestled in Isesaki City, is famous for its stunning views of Mount Akagi to the north, Mount Asama, Mount Haruna, and Mount Myogi to the west, and the Chichibu mountains to the south. The moment we arrived, the vibrant colors of the small chrysanthemums captivated us. Stretching across 23,000 square meters, the flowers come in shades of yellow, orange, pink, and white, filling the air with a unique fragrance. My kids enjoyed running around and taking photos, while my wife and I found a peaceful spot to relax and soak in the breathtaking scenery. It's a place where all your worries seem to fade away, and time slows down. What Makes Akabori Kogiku no Sato Special? This spot is not just about flowers; it's a place rich in history and natural beauty. Located on the southern slope of Mount Minegishi (the highest peak in Isesaki City, standing at 168.3 meters), the area is maintained by the Kogiku Village Creation Association, who have planted approximately 20,000 ball chrysanthemums. During the annual Akabori Kogiku no Sato Festival, usually held in mid-October, the flowers are in full bloom, and various events bring the area to life. This year’s festival for 2024 ran from October 20 to November 17 and has now concluded.
