GPS art on Japan’s oldest castle tower✨
GPS art of cherry blossoms at Maruoka Castle, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture.
Maruoka Castle is a historic castle with the oldest existing castle tower in Japan, and is also famous for its cherry blossoms. In spring, approximately 400 Someiyoshino cherry trees surround the castle, creating a beautiful scene of stone walls and cherry blossoms. It has been selected as one of the 100 best cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan, and is one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Sakai City, where history and nature are in harmony.
The “Maruoka Castle Cherry Blossom Festival” is usually held in early April, and the castle is illuminated at night, creating a fantastic night view of the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms at the castle tower are also a spectacular sight, so don’t forget to visit here when you try your hand at GPS art🌸
