Emerging Cherry Blossom Spot

Inside Noshiro City Hall lies a hidden cherry blossom gem known as Sakura Garden.

The site was once home to a local elementary school, famous for its stunning cherry blossoms. When the school was relocated, the beloved trees were preserved at the request of the community and became the centerpiece of the new city hall’s garden.

Every spring, as the blossoms reach full bloom, the garden draws both tourists and local residents to enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Whether sitting on a bench in the garden, gazing from the first-floor parking lot, or strolling out to the terrace to admire the cascading cherry blossoms, visitors can enjoy the beauty of the sakura from different perspectives.

Among these, the terrace is the most recommended spot. With the hanging cherry blossoms right before your eyes, it’s easy to capture stunning, Instagram-worthy photos—even for beginners.

Night Cherry Blossoms and Sakura Festival

Besides daytime cherry blossom viewing, the “Sakura Garden” is best known for its evening illumination from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The romantic lights cast a dreamy glow on the blooming cherry trees, drawing many photography enthusiasts eager to capture the magical scene.

During the sakura season, food stalls set up around the city hall offer a variety of snacks, letting visitors enjoy delicious treats while admiring the blossoms. Traditional taiko drumming and dance performances also add lively entertainment to the festive atmosphere.
