The sakura bloom everywhere. You can walk up the mountain - a steep path or stairs will get you to the top - and down again. Take one path up, another down. On your way up there are lovely sights - interesting trees, benches and tables for resting, small waterfalls, and always the sakura. Lovely views from the top. Be sure to walk the ramparts as well. When you get back down to the bottom level, food stalls provide welcome sustenance during sakura season.

Kasumi-ga-jō, the ruined castle at Nihonmatsu, was not really the focus of our visit. The sakura there were our target and they were at peak on April 16 when we visited. We spent a long time at the first (reconstructed) gate trying to capture a photo with no people - it required a lot of patience. The climb to the top of the castle mount is easy offers many places for stopping and viewing nature. There are several view points, many natural features including sakura, ponds, shaped trees and a tea house. Do climb to the top of the mountain for a spectacular view of snow-covered mountains, yellow fields of mustard flowers (nanohana) and hundreds if not thousands of sakura. From here you can walk on the stone castle ramparts and take in the expansive 360 degree views.
