What other travelers are saying about Takato Joshi Park (Takato Castle Ruins Park)
We visited Takato Joshi Park on April 9, and the atmosphere felt like a scene from a fairytale.
The cherry trees weren’t yet in full bloom, but the experience was still absolutely breathtaking.
We arrived around 9:00 AM, and by then, the parking lots closest to the entrance were already full.
There were quite a few people in the park, but thanks to the typical Japanese courtesy and patience, everyone managed to get their perfect photo moment.
Parking fee: ¥1,000
Entrance fee:
Adults: ¥600
Students: ¥300
Even without peak blossoms, the delicate pink haze and gentle light made it a day to remember. If you’re in Japan during sakura season — don’t miss it! A must-see spot for cherry blossom lovers. 🌸⛩️✨📸
It's one of the best Cherry Blossoms places that I have visited . Although it is drizzling on the day of my visit , the full bloom Cherry blossom trees put a big smile on my face . Do take note that the entrance fee is 600 yen for adults and parking is 1000 yen . Highly recommended .
Beautiful during the cherry blossom season this park is definitely worth visiting late March/early April. This year, 2021 with the corona virus still affecting everything, there are various measures being taken while entering (temperature check, hand sanitation sites, social distancing, personal info written down).
The views are quite spectacular with the Kiso mountains framed with Sakura blooms and around the park there are some relics of the Takato castle ruins. Just be prepared to pay for parking (¥1000) if you don’t want to walk up the hill from the free parking lot by the Mibu river below. Either way there is still a admission fee as you enter.
Incredible views during the Sakura season. There is a large number of blooming flowers, several stalls for food and a large number of Japanese tourists! Parking can be difficult so be prepared for a wait!
