Sankeien Garden is a traditional Japanese garden housing many ancient constructions and woods. The 500-metre road leading to the park is lined with cherry blossom trees on both sides to create a beautiful sakura tunnel. What draws the most attention from visitors is the stunning picture of cherry blossoms, old pagoda on the hill and their reflections in the pond, which is even more incredible in the light-up.
