Nightfall in Bloom – Takada Castle’s 1 Million Lights Magic

Takada Castle Site Park in Niigata turned into a dreamland during sakura season. As dusk fell, 4,000 cherry trees lit up under a million lanterns, their reflections shimmering in the moat like stars on water. It wasn’t just a cherry blossom viewing—it was a light symphony wrapped in petals. A stroll through the illuminated path felt like walking through poetry. #cherryblossom25 has never been more radiant.
