🌸【Cherry Blossom Viewing Guide】Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Fukuoka Cherry Blossom Viewing Recommendations‼ ️
#福冈樱花 My dears, the second stop of our 2024 cherry blossom viewing trip is in Kyushu. Come with me to see the beautiful cherry blossom viewing spots in Kagoshima, Kumamoto, and Fukuoka.
📆Time: mid-March to late March
▪️Fukuoka Maizuru Park
Maizuru Park is the most popular and famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Fukuoka City😍! As soon as you step into the park, the magnificent sea of cherry trees instantly comes into view, it is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. There are approximately 1,000 cherry trees of 19 varieties in full bloom in the park, creating a colorful and beautiful sight. Moreover, every year Maizuru Park holds the "Fukuoka Castle Cherry Blossom Festival". At night, when the lighting event starts, the lights are sprinkled on the cherry blossoms, adding a touch of mysterious and charming beauty to them. The atmosphere is super great for taking pictures🎆.

🚗Get off at Ohori Park / Akasaka Station on the Subway Airport Line and walk for about 8 minutes
📆Mid-March to late March
▪️Kagoshima Senganen
This is a private villa and garden full of stories. About 150 cherry trees are blooming in the quaint garden, outlining a beautiful picture like a poem. On the main island of Japan, it is one of the earliest places where cherry blossoms bloom. There are the unique Kanhizakura with bell-shaped flowers, the New Year's Day cherry blossoms that bloom around the Spring Festival, and the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms that bloom around mid-March every year. There are many varieties and the period for appreciation is relatively long. After the flowers fade, the garden is full of green, and the vigorous vitality of spring is about to overflow🍃. The best part is that, looking into the distance, the cherry blossoms and the majestic Sakurajima complement each other. Such a magnificent garden landscape makes people reluctant to put down their cameras, and they just want to freeze every moment of beauty📸.

Every year, when this Momoyama-style strolling garden is covered in pink cherry blossoms, the residents of Kumamoto gather on the grass to hold a lively banquet. While chatting with relatives and friends, everyone leisurely enjoys the beautiful scenery of the garden and the blooming cherry blossoms. The elegant scenery of Kumamoto Castle and the cherry blossoms is so stunning! What’s even better is that when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the park will add special lighting effects.
