Omura Park

Spring is the most lively season in the rich natural world of Omura. Approximately 2,000 cherry trees burst into bloom in Omura Park, signaling the start of spring. The park is listed as one of Japan’s 100 Famous Cherry Blossom-viewing Sites.
The trees are lit up during the Omura Flower Festival from March 25 to June 20 so visitors can enjoy the blossoms at night.
