Izumi Nature Park, Chiba

#cherryblossom25 Izumi Nature Park is a sakura wonderland for people who love wide open spaces. It’s not flashy or famous, but that’s kind of the charm. I spent a warm spring afternoon here, hiking gently rolling hills covered in pink blossoms. There were wildflowers, chirping birds, and kids flying kites — a real slice of local life. The cherry trees are scattered and layered across the park, which gives it a more “natural forest” feel compared to some of the urban parks I’ve visited. I even found a quiet pond framed by trees that was perfect for journaling and just… breathing. It’s a place to wander with no plan. I posted a slow-motion video of petals falling in the breeze using #cherryblossom25 — and it instantly became my most calming reel. This is one for nature lovers, or anyone looking to skip the lines and just exist under the blossoms.
