2025 Muramatsu Park Cherry Blossom Festival

Hey guys! What’s up? This time I went to Muramatsu Park located in Gosen city, Niigata prefecture, Japan, to see cherry blossoms 😀 It was on April 14th, 2025. It was a sunny day. This is a famous park selected for “Japan’s Top 100 Places for Cherry Blossoms,” and approximately 3000 cherry blossom trees brighten the spring gracefully. Not only the cherry blossoms but also hepaticas, azaleas, hydrangeas and so on come into bloom, so it is also known as “Park of Flowers.” Well then, first off, I am going to share with you guys the pics of the cherry blossoms in the twilight.
