Nagoya : Cherry Blossoms near Yamazaki River

It is almost spring and plum blossoms are a common sight in Japan. Almost everyone in Japan is awaiting the famous Cherry Blossom season. While speaking to my friends about organising Cherry Blossom viewing events this spring, I realised that I had not written much about Cherry Blossoms around Nagoya. Nagoya has three popular spots for Cherry Blossom viewing and Hanami parties- Tsuruma Park, Yamazaki River and Gojo River.  
Yamazaki river flows through a large part of Nagoya, but the Cherry Blossom viewing spot is located in the city's Mizuho ku, close to the Mizuho Undo-jo. 

Hundreds of Cherry Trees along both banks of the river spanning about 2 kms,  along a walking promenade make this a popular spot for locals in the Cherry Blossom viewing season.












While Tsuruma Park is termed as the No 1 spot for Cherry Blossom viewing, I would say Yamazaki river is less crowded and more enjoyable. 

 The Cherry trees are lit up every evening from about 6 pm to 9 pm. The spot attracts visitors both during the day and the evening. 





Nearest subway stations : 
Mizuho Undojo Nishi and Mizuho Kuyakusho Stations on the Sakuradori Subway line or Mizuho Undojo Higashi station on the Meijo Line. 

Parking: Paid parking available at Mizuho Undojo Parking

  1. Oh, this is the best sharing for my sister, because she collects the information about this park, and she decided to go there with her friends. Thank you for this best sharing. I also like it. Anyway, I will go to visit cherry blossom philadelphia with my boyfriend to enjoy, and also we are very happy.
